The Welding Engineer's Guide to Fracture and Fatigue provides an essential introduction to fracture and fatigue and the assessment of these failure modes, through to the level of knowledge that would be expected of a qualified welding engineer. Part one covers the basic principles of weld fracture and fatigue. It begins with a review of the design of engineered structures, provides descriptions of typical welding defects and how these defects behave in structures undergoing static and cyclical loading, and explains the range of failure modes. Part two then explains how to detect and assess defects using fitness for service assessment procedures. Throughout, the book assumes no prior knowledge and explains concepts from first principles.
Laser welding is a rapidly developing and versatile technology
which has found increasing applications in industry and
manufacturing. It allows the precision welding of small and
hard-to-reach areas, and is particularly suitable for operation
under computer or robotic control. The Handbook of laser welding
technologies reviews the latest developments in the field and how
they can be used across a variety of applications.
Metal injection molding combines the most useful characteristics of
powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding to facilitate the
production of small, complex-shaped metal components with
outstanding mechanical properties. The Handbook of metal injection
molding provides an authoritative guide to this important
technology and its applications.
Welding and joining techniques play an essential role in both the
manufacture and in-service repair of aerospace structures and
components, and these techniques become more advanced as new,
complex materials are developed. Welding and joining of aerospace
materials provides an in-depth review of different techniques for
joining metallic and non-metallic aerospace materials.
Tailor welded blanks are metallic sheets made from different
strengths, materials, and/or thicknesses pre-welded together before
forming into the final component geometry. By combining various
sheets into a welded blank, engineers are able to tailor the blank
so that the properties are located precisely where they are needed
and cost-effective, low weight components are produced. Tailor
welded blanks for advanced manufacturing examines the manufacturing
of tailor welded blanks and explores their current and potential
future applications.
Welding is a cost-effective and flexible method of fabricating
large structures, but drawbacks such as residual stress, distortion
and buckling must be overcome in order to optimize structural
performance. Minimization of welding distortion and buckling
provides a systematic overview of the methods of minimizing
distortion and buckling in welded structures.
A concise and accessible guide to the knowledge required to fulfil
the role of a welding inspector. In covering both European and
US-based codes, the book gives those wishing to gain certification
in welding inspection a basic all-round understanding of the main
subject matter.
The Welding of Aluminium and its Alloys is a practical user's guide
to all aspects of welding aluminium and aluminium alloys. It
provides a basic understanding of the metallurgical principles
involved showing how alloys achieve their strength and how the
process of welding can affect these properties. The book is
intended to provide engineers with perhaps little prior
understanding of metallurgy and only a brief acquaintance with the
welding processes involved with a concise and effective reference
to the subject.
Based on the European Welding Engineer (EWF) syllabus Part 3 -
Construction and Design, this book provides a clear, highly
illustrated and concise explanation of how welded joints and
structures are designed and of the constraints which welding may
impose on the design. It is therefore of value both to the welding
engineer and the design engineer
A new edition of a well established and respected textbook from an
author who is a recognised authority in this field. Joining
techniques are one of the key technologies in materials engineering
and this book provides comprehensive coverage of the subject. It is
intended for undergraduate and graduate students of metallurgy, as
well as those attending specialist welding courses.
These recommendations present general methods for the assessment of fatigue damage in welded components, which may affect the limit states of a structure, such as ultimate limit state and serviceability limited state. Fatigue resistance data is given for welded components made of wrought or extruded products of ferritic/pearlitic or banitic structural steels up to fy = 700 Mpa and of aluminium alloys commonly used for welded structures.
Modern welding processes must guarantee the performance and durability of everything from CPI equipment to truck cabs. Here are virtually all the information and guidelines engineers need to maximize the structural integrity and corrosion resistance of the full spectrum of welded materials. With state-of-the-art coverage of all welding processes-solid phase, fusion, high power density, and overlay techniques-the book also details the metallurgical effects of fusion welding, the behavior of welds in service, structural materials for pipelines and process plants, measurement pitfalls and control checks, and more! Special sections explain the behavior of individual metals, and alloys under varying conditions, there's information on controlling quality and hundreds of precise illustrations which clarify every key point. An indispensable hands-on reference and working companion for mechanical engineers and metallurgists.
Micro Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is a prominent technology for the fabrication of micro components in many fields.

This reference explores explosion welding, a high intensity, transient impact that achieves metal compounds not obtainable otherwise. Electron microscopy images cover the structure of numerous welded joints including titanium-orthorhombic titanium aluminide, copper-tantalum, aluminum-tantalum, iron-silver, steel-steel, and copper-titanium. These weldable pairs have different solubility than their initial elements. The authors present various processes and structures including granulating fragmentation, cusps, splashes, and quasi-wave interface. Specific risk zones for chemical and petrochemical (coke chamber) reactors are probed and suggestions offered. Key Features: Offers new theories about explosion welding processes and structures Investigates dozens of weldable pairs with differing solubility from initial elements Studies both hetero- and homogeneous pairs Explores welded joints with flat, wavy and quasi-wavy separation boundaries Observes irregularities of the separation surface relief observing asperities and splashes and their transformation under intensified welding modes Unveils a new type of fragmentation under explosion welding Explosive Welding: Processes and Structures is a valuable resource for a wide range of experts involved in explosion welding, engineers, as well as graduate and postgraduate students. |
