ASTM International announces the publication of the new, extensively revised DS67C, The Handbook of Comparative World Steel Standards, 4th Edition.  DS67C gives a detailed explanation of how and why one steel is comparable to another.  This new edition allows the user to identify comparable steels that are found in standards from around the world, and to evaluate each standard to ensure that the selected steel is suited for the intended application.
