online access to Heat Treater's Guide?

[hardheart]

Is anyone a member of the asm, I was wondering how the online pdf access to the guide works. It would be almost half the price of a hardcopy if the ASM & heat treater's association membership fees were the only requirements to view it.

I got in an old copy of the Atlas of IT & CT Diagrams, but to be quite honest, I had already found scans of most all the diagrams in it for the tool & alloy steels that make good knives-1095, 5160, 52100, O1, A2, D2, etc. Really didn't give me much in the way of new useful info. What other steels in the HT Guide would be useful? The Atlas didn't even have 440C, which I thought was strange (did have A&B)

well, I went ahead and ordered a hardcopy. with a B&N membership, it's 20% off the online price, plus there's an additional 15% off coupon code till the 20th - X9Y3W9Y That took $80 off the price.

Came in today, plus the library got in a copy through an interlibrary loan. So, I have two for the next two weeks I can transcribe some info, maybe scan some isothermal or cooling curves if anyone needs them.
