I have a decent background in chemistry and medicine and should be a quick study. Thanks, Darren...
Carroll Smith's Engineer to Win (along with the rest of his books). I have read all of his books probably 10 times. As for a quick study...it is an extensive field with thousands and thousands of alloys and processes. I was very fortunate to have many customers in F1, Aerospace, and other very advanced fields, freely share their knowledge with us. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I am sure there are others on the board who are very bright who are happy to help.

David
