8th Edition.
Edited by W.F.Gale and T.C.Totemeier. Elsevier Inc., 2004. 2072 pp.
Over ten years have elapsed since the last edition of Smithells was published. Hence, a key objective of the editors for the present edition was to update the existing content. Thus, extensive changes have been made. In addition, the editors wished to expand the coverage of Smithells, both with respect to topics that have been overlooked in previous editions (such as metal working and machining) and to include aspects of metallurgy that have grown in importance, since the last edition was published (for example modelling).
