Created an account at librarything.com (stated on top) and I am astounded by the amount of metals, different materials, its properties, etc. books that has been published.
Handbook of Non-Ferrous Metal Powders: Technologies and Applications
This book is roughly about the manufacture and use of the powders of non-ferrous metals has been taking place for many years in what was previously Soviet Russia. Although accounts of the topic have been published in the Russian language, no English language account has existed until now.
It also covers the classification, manufacturing methods, treatment and properties of the non-ferrous metals ( aluminium, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, lead, tin, bismuth, noble metals and earth metals).
Polymer Products:Design, Materials and Processing
Platinum: The metal, its properties & applications
Metals and Materials: Science, Processes, Applications
This is a comprehensive account of the science of materials, ranging in its coverage from pure elements to superalloys, from glasses to engineering ceramics.
Numerous examples are given of the ways in which knowledge of the relation between fine structure and properties and the authors have tried to make the subject accessible to a wide range of readers.
Materials and Design, Second Edition: The Art and Science of Material Selection in Product Design
I find this book interesting and intriguing, this book proves a valuable resource for those starting out in design or engineering
So altogether I had congregated 5 books and gave a summary of my view towards the books which I find is utmost intriguing and educational.
Judging from the book title. It gives us a definite picture that we are going to read about different types of materials, its properties, applications, processes and the uses.
Books like this will indubitably help us in our future lives, and even gives us additional information on specific topics in our modules.
For example, we learnt that Non-Ferrous metals are metals that contain no iron or a small amount of alloying iron, such as alloys of aluminium, copper, magesium, nickel etc.
So with this book, we get to learn about more in-depth information. By reading it, it widens our circle of knowledge.
Published date for these books can even be published way back in the 1979s! To latest ones which is published in 2009.
In general, doing up, creating this blog and updating about educational facts made me realize the different perspectives on how students gain knowledge.

What I've learnt from eBook.
Hello, I had found an eBook on the internet on all about Steel.
Below is the link.

Chapter 2 talks about how industrial titanium was born of an advanced technology in 1948-high-purity titanium tetrachloride reduction under argon.
Vacuum arc remelting, control of embrittling hydrogen, plus the first titanium alloys and produced at high tonnages as a specialty metal.
Chapter 3 emphasizes on the important aspects of the story of structural titanium metal are unique in the annals of metallurgical history. How mysterious, fascinating, exciting, frustrating, unusual, expensive, lavish, vital, critical.
Chapter 4 is about titanium ore reserves are abundant and widely distributed throughout the world. So, in terms of contained titanium, the manufacture of titanium dioxide in the United States is about 15 times greater than the production of titanium metal.
Chapter 7 is about titanium melting, alloying, mill processing, and heat treating.
Ingot Melting: The principal product associated with the melting of titanium sponge is ingot. The process of melting titanium also is used to make castings and spherical powder and, more recently, to produce bulk metal from lightweight forms of scrap (eg. Turnings and grindings)
Present practice
Titanium ingot is the precursor form for most titanium mill products (the exceptions are the as-cast performs and the performs produced by powder metallurgy techniques). The steps required to make ingot include:
Chapter 9: End uses of titanium
“Light, strong, ductile, and corrosion-resistant” were the features that sold titanium offered from the beginning. “Light and strong” meant a higher strength-to-weight ratio than that possessed by aluminum and steel up to 550 degree Celsius. “Ductile” implied formability and toughness. “Corrosion resistance” signified maintenance-free aircraft eve on seawater-drenched carriers.
So, Steel ateial is a still-growing uses of titanium in the aerospace industry.
Reason for titanium use:
The element titanium in bulk metallic form is a relatively low-strength plastic solid intermediate density that is extremely reactive chemically.
Titanium also has low thermal and electrical conductivity and a weak paramagnetic response. The usefulness of titanium as an engineering material is related to its uniquely desirable combination of chemical, physical, and mechanical properties and to the ability to prepare high-strength, tough, and ductile alloys from the base material.
Titanium and its alloys are quite corrosion resistant in most common environment and even in some that very aggressively attack most other engineering metals. Oxidation reactions in titanium are insignificant.
Chapter 10: Titanium supply and demand and price trends
Despite the unusual history of titanium as a structural metal, it has much in common with its alternative construction materials. Viewed from this perspective, titanium’s turbulent first 30 years and the steadily emerging strength of its industrial markets fit the usual pattern of increasing stability based on ever-widening diversity and proportion of industrial uses.

Item 22: Free eBooks
After searching for the 'Best Places To Get Free Books', I foud a website which is, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-best-6-sites-to-get-free-ebooks/
This is where I got some good website on where to get free books.
1. Ebook Search Engines - These are simple Google-like search engines but for PDF files. All you need to do is to type in the title of the document or book name you’re looking for and click on the search button. Find your book in the search results and click on download link and you are done!
2. Scribd.com - the simplest way to define Scribd would be to call it Youtube for documents. People can upload whatever text documents they want and easily share them with others.
3. Project Gutenberg - These are the books that out of copyright and available for anyone to use for any purpose.
4. Free Ebooks For Your iPod, PDA, Smartphone, Blackberry etc. - For those of you who like to have ebooks on their portabe device we got some sites as well.
5. Free Tech Ebooks - These sites are mainly for tech books, covering everything from computer science, engineering and mathematics to programming and web development.
6. DailyLit - DailyLit can deliver a small excerpt from the book of your choice to your email on a daily basis. One excerpt per day, and so untill the book is finished.

Exploring Classroom 2.0
Hi, this will be my first post update for my MDA blog.
After exploring it, I find it to be very encouraging as it lets me try out and learn about the new arising technologies that are reshaping that context of infmation on the Internet today. So I am supposed to benefit some knowledge from there.
I am definitely looking forward to it!
