Metallurgy of welding

The new edition of this standard textbook follows its predecessors in providing comprehensive coverage of the key materials and processes for undergraduate and graduate students of metallurgy, as well as those attending specialist welding courses. It is also a source of reference for engineers and metallurgists concerned with joining processes. The text has been revised throughout, and a new chapter has been included dealing with metal/ceramic joining and microwelding. is also increased coverage of the development of steelmaking techniques that affect weldability. "Metallurgy of Welding" covers the joining of metals, both to other metals and to non-metals including ceramics and glasses. The joining processes covered include soldering, brazing, solid-phase welding and fusion welding. The fusion welding of steel is covered in depth, and non-ferrous metals, glasses and ceramics are also considered. A chapter is also devoted to the topic of the service behaviour of weldments. This book should be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students and practising engineers in materials engineering and manufacturing production engineering.
