Book Description
* Updated to include new technological advancements in welding
* Uses illustrations and diagrams to explain metallurgical
phenomena
* Features exercises and examples
Synopsis
This volume presents the fundamental aspects of fusion welding of
engineering alloys. It examines the thermal, chemical, and
mechanical aspects of welding and provides practical approaches to
solving welding problems.
From the Back Cover
The premier reference for welding metallurgy, completely revised
and expanded
Since its initial publication in 1987, Welding Metallurgy has
been the standard text for the instruction of welding in technical
schools and as a reference for professional welders. Updating the
existing material and adding a substantial amount of new content,
the Second Edition expands the scope of the first and remains the
benchmark resource in its field.
Metallurgical phenomena are explained with the help of
illustrations that integrate the phase diagram, thermal cycle,
kinetics, microstructure, and physical properties. More exercise
problems are provided in the Second Edition, and a Solutions
Manual is available upon request. Examples of updated features
include:
*Much sharper photomicrographs and line drawings
*Updated heat-source efficiency and melting efficiency
*Updated and expanded chemical reactions in welding
*Turbulence (now included in weld pool convection), flow
visualization, and arc-plasma dragging
*Solute redistribution and microsegregation have been expanded
and the solidification path added
*Solidification modes are explained with more illustrations
*Ferrite formation mechanisms, new ferrite prediction methods,
the effect of cooling rate, and factors affecting the
austenite-ferrite transformation
*Six different liquation mechanisms in the partially melted
zone, the direction and modes of grain boundary (GB)
solidification, and the resultant GB segregation
Practitioners, researchers, and students will find Welding
Metallurgy, Second Edition to be an invaluable, one-stop resource
on the science of welding.
