Describes the weldability aspects of structural materialsused in a wide variety of engineering structures, including steels,stainless steels, Ni-base alloys, and Al-base alloys
Welding Metallurgy and Weldability describes weld failuremechanisms associated with either fabrication or service, andfailure mechanisms related to microstructure of the weldment.Weldability issues are divided into fabrication and service relatedfailures; early chapters address hot cracking, warm (solid-state)cracking, and cold cracking that occur during initial fabrication,or repair. Guidance on failure analysis is also provided, alongwith examples of SEM fractography that will aid in determiningfailure mechanisms. Welding Metallurgy and Weldabilityexamines a number of weldability testing techniques that can beused to quantify susceptibility to various forms of weldcracking.
* Describes the mechanisms of weldability along with methods toimprove weldability
* Includes an introduction to weldability testing and techniques,including strain-to-fracture and Varestraint tests
* Chapters are illustrated with practical examples based on 30plus years of experience in the field
Illustrating the weldability aspects of structural materialsused in a wide variety of engineering structures, WeldingMetallurgy and Weldability provides engineers and students withthe information needed to understand the basic concepts of weldingmetallurgy and to interpret the failures in weldedcomponents.
