Book Recommendations

[christianroth]

I'm look for a good reference book on different material properties (yield, tensile, etc...) as well as typical applications. It should also have typical manufacturing methods and the pros and cons of each (cold forming, forging, etc...)

Can anyone recommend a book?

ASM Handbooks

As israelkk states, the ASM Handbook series is the best:

If you must have a single volume, try the Desk Edition:
