[TheForge] Combustion temperatures

Sat Sep 20 12:05:06 2003

The Mark's Mechanical Engineer's Handbook is a great reference for lots 
of info we metal manglers can use. Visit used book stores they are 
usually available.

I have the one I bought in engineering school, and then I found a 
1950's edition for $2 at a used book sale.

The old one had smithin' info along with combustability info.

The McGraw-Hill periodicals used to have offers to buy the handbook for 
$14.95 if you join the Mechanical Engineer's bookclub, and by two books 
over the next couple of years. It was easy to find a couple of their 
closeout reference books to fulfill the obligation. Otherwise the book 
is like $150!!
