ASM Introduces Online Alloy Info
Friday, August 08, 2003
ASM International, Materials Park, OH, has debuted ASM Alloy Center Online, allowing Internet users to rapidly search ASM materials for a wealth of information on metal alloys.
“It would take hours to search through the Internet or a library to find this kind of information,” says Dr. Donald R. Muzyka, ASM president, noting that the same breadth of online information would require more than $5000 worth of equivalent ASM hardcopy reference products.
Individual subscriptions start at $179 per year for ASM members. Site licenses also are available. For more information, contact Denise L. Smith at 800/336-5152 ext. 5663 or email dlsmith@asminternational.org.
