Metals Data
The complete set of Granta data modules providing metals data is listed below. In addition to the modules from the Aerospace & Energy Series and the Universe Series that cover aerospace alloy, fasteners, and generic data on all classes of metals, this series adds detailed property information on steels, powder metallurgy, consumables, and other metals.

The GRANTA MI software offers superior access to any of these data modules. Or you can integrate these references with each other and with in-house and other third-party data to create a complete materials information source for your engineering process. With GRANTA MI you can search, browse, analyze, and manipulate this data. A browser-based interface supports engineers and materials.
