Free sources for material property data
(OP)
What are some good free sources for material property data? In particular I'm looking for info on a broad range of stainless steels.
The ASM volumes are an option but they aren't at ready use. Are there any sites you'd recommend. I want to find some information for a broad range of grades.

Yeah I'm actually making my own little web page full of good links. I just want the best of course. Sometimes you notice people with a web page full of way too many links. It's hard to know what is useful.
