How Metals Infobase Works
With Metals Infobase you can locate metal grades, Standards or suppliers using many different fields, depending on the piece of information you hold. You can search by:
Designation
Grade Number or reference
Form
Chemical Composition
Mechanical and physical Properties
Supplier Standard Number
or any combination of these.
You can quickly and easily:
identify comparable metals or a metal with your required mechanical properties
compare different grades
manage referenced Standards
identify who manufactures a metal or source details of the Standard in which it is specified
monitor lists of grades, suppliers and Standards for updates to give a proven procedure for quality audits (ISO 9000)
You can monitor your own lists of metals, manufacturers or Standards, and once made you will receive an email each quarter detailing which metals, manufacturers or Standards have been updated.
With its exclusive Bookmark feature, Metals Infobase removes an audit obstacle and helps to ensure ISO 9000 Quality compliance, or other legal, industry or business improvement obligations.
You can even attach your own searchable notes to any record, e.g. the performance of a metal, in which project or component it was used, supplier details, a manufacturer’s delivery schedule, prices, performance, capabilities.
