An old Jorgensen Steel Handbook is handy if you can find one. I'm sure they probably show up on Ebay.

Central Steel & Wire. They used to send a catalog. I don't know if they do it anymore or not, but you could call them and see if they would send you one. Here is their online catalog. http://www.centralsteel.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109&Itemid=250

My grandpa received his degree in metallurgy through national correspondence. I know this isn't helpful to you, but I have been reading all of the books that were issued to him through his coarse work an they are outstanding! I wish I could find a way to share them. He is still alive and kicking at the age of 87. I have an image if his electric arc furnace hanging in my office. While his physical abilities are fading he is still as sharp as ever. Good luck in your search, I requested the documents from him in my search for more knowledge and I value them dearly.

I like the book, "Engineer to Win" by Carroll Smith. I got it about the same time I was taking a materials class in college, and it is nearly the same material, presented in plain English without much math. It is not only a description of material properties, but why you do or don't want to use a particular material for a part on a racecar.

There is also a bunch of information in it about fasteners and plumbing. Well worth the $25.

+1 on www.matweb.com in my engineering program they actually encouraged us to use matweb as a source to find data on the materials we were testing.
