HAM - Materials Evaluation and Engineering, Inc.

The Handbook of Analytical Methods for Materials (HAMM) is a brief tutorial on techniques for materials characterization. The HAMM is intended to provide our visitors with enough information on a technique to determine whether it has the potential to help solve a materials problem. We hope that this information can be used by our customers and other visitors to this site to formulate plans for evaluation of problems under investigation and to better understand data that they may obtain.

This handbook is also available in a downloadable Adbobe PDF format. The PDF version has additional content not included in the HTML version
