Material Specs - how to look them up?
(OP)
I continually am faced with material specs. I do not know how to look them up. I am a member of ASM but I can not figure out how to use their website for looking up specs. If I see "per ASTM Spec No. A 27 Grade 60-30" for instance or DIN numbers or AMS 5662 how can I find the information about the materials? Is there a book I have to buy or a website that is easily referenced for this? If I see "per asm..." or "per ASTM..." how can I find info about the stipulations that these documents call out??

available from ASM.
But one must beware that equivalent specifications are seldom identical.
Another resource is Global IHS at

where you can get the Title of the Spec. to see what is it about.
Some commercial firms publish their own comparison tables, to be taken with much care.

Thank you. I need to invest some time perusing Matweb to understand better how to use it. I have done a little in the past but it has been too long.
