I'm not to familiar with ASTM Codes. I have a customer that has spec'd out materials via ASTM. Do you all know of a good reference where I could go to identify these materials?
These guys give a warning that some standards they list may be out of date, but in most cases you can get a pretty good idea of what you need from this ref. A better idea than searching ASTM themselves, as this one gives you properties of the materials.
