The process of materials selection is often tedious and time-consuming. With COR.SUR and COR.SUR2 for Windows you have a quick and easy method for screening materials for possible use in a given environment. The information contained in COR.SUR and COR.SUR2 for Windows is organized to enhance its usefulness as a tool for materials selection. It is concerned with the corrosion behavior of engineering materials. The tables, charts, and graphs contained in these software programs provide a cost-effective method for reducing the field of choice of materials of construction for particular applications quickly, based on corrosion behavior. COR.SUR and COR-SUR2 were originally derived from information contained in Corrosion Data Survey, Metals Section and Corrosion Data Survey, Nonmetals Section. Since the original software release, many improvements and updates have been incorporated into the software programs. The software programs document the performance of 71 materials in more than 1850 environments and provide a ready reference for evaluating the suitability of materials for possible use. System requirements: IBM-compatible PC with 386 (486 or higher recommended) processor; Windows 3x or
Cambridge Materials Selector; a Guide to Materials Selection for Engineering Education The optimum selection of materials is becoming increasingly important for innovation in engineering design and an increasingly important part of engineering education. Two of the main difficulties with teaching materials selection are having a suitable methodology to enable optimum materials choice for particular design requirements and providing sufficient high-quality property data for the 80,000 or so materials available to engineers. Professor M. Ashby and his team at the Engineering Department of Cambridge University have developed a system that links the properties of engineering materials directly with functionality of a particular design. The method is described in the textbook Materials Selection in Mechanical Design by Ashby and published by Butterworth Heinemann. This methodology is now embedded into an integrated software package specifically designed for use in engineering education. The Cambridge Materials Se-
lector is a Windows-based PC software toolkit that combines the use of graphical materials selection charts and extensive databases of material properties to enable the optimum selection of materials. The databases contain all the main classes of engineering materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, elastomers, and composites. More than 50 properties are stored for each material, including mechanical, thermal, electrical, price, forming and joining methods, typical uses, and suppliers. Using the Cambridge Materials Se
