Materials Science Databases from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts:
A cluster of databases on materials science, including: aluminum industry, corrosion, engineered materials, metals and alloys, welding materials and ceramics.

Aluminum Industry Abstracts
(1972-current)
Comprehensive coverage of the world's technical literature on aluminum, production processes, products, applications, and business developments.

Ceramic Abstracts / World Ceramics Abstracts
(1975-current)
Comprehensive database for the ceramics industry, providing international coverage on the manufacture, processing, applications, properties and testing of traditional and advanced ceramics.

Copper Data Center Database
(1965-current)
Online bibliographic database of the world's literature on copper, copper alloys, and copper technology.

Corrosion Abstracts
(1980-current)
International sources of literature are scanned and abstracted in the areas of general corrosion, testing, corrosion characteristics, preventive measures, materials construction and performance, and equipment for many industries.

Engineered Materials Abstracts (EMA)
(1986-current)
A cluster of databases containing Ceramics, Composites and Polymers subfiles. EMA is specifically designed to serve materials sciences researchers, engineers and scientists.

Includes subfiles:
Materials Business File
(1985-current)
Focuses on industry news, international trade data, government regulations and management issues related to the metals and materials industries. Citations for this database are pulled from 2,000 journals, plus patents, dissertations, and proceedings.

Mechanical Engineering Abstracts
(1981-current)
Topics include mechanical engineering, nuclear technology, fluid flow, hydraulics, thermodynamics, aerospace engineering, materials handling and more.

METADEX
(1966-current)
Comprehensive source for information on metals and alloys: their properties, manufacturing, applications, and development.

WELDASEARCH
(1967-current)
Comprehensive database containing abstracts to journal articles, research reports, books, standards, patents, theses and special publications in the areas of joining metals, plastics and ceramics, metal and ceramic spraying, and related topics.
