Advance Welding Technology

Preface:
I have been teaching this subject for the last several years and based on myclass notes and experience gained, I have prepared the matter for this book namely “Advanced Welding Technology”. The present book is an effort in the direction of presenting the concepts of Advanced Welding Technology and its applications in clear, concise and systematic manner at one place. Presentationis made in very simple and easily understandable language and well supportedwith wide range of illustrations.The subject matter of this book meets the requirement of B. Tech. andM. Tech. Mechanical Engineering students. Advanced Welding Technology is taught at the professional level as a compulsory/Elective subject in variousuniversities, AMIE and IME schemes. A successful Welding Engineer should be more familiar with the current welding processes and new welding techniques.Inspection is the essential basic strength of any product. It is the inspection whether at the stage of manufacturing or at in service stage ensures the properproduction of product and hence produces wealth for that organisation.

Hence the objective of the book is to provide Engineering personnels with the background knowledge of inspection of products without destroying them, i.e.,by Non-destructive techniques used in Modern Industry. This book will also be suitable for personnels from various disciplines like Mechanical Engg., IndustrialEngg., Production Engg., Metallurgical Engg. and Manufacturing Technologyetc.

The matter of this book is divided into seven chapters which covers the topicson Introduction, Conventional Welding Processes, Advance Welding Process,Weld Design and Quality Control, Inspection and Testing and Thermal andMetallurgical Considerations and Non-Destractive Testing (N.D.T.) Lab. work.Best efforts have been made to place the required course material coveringall important topics related with welding.
