Welding Metallurgy and Weldability
John C. Lippold
- Describes
- the
- weldability
- aspects
- of
- structural
- materials
- used
- in
- a
- wide
- variety
- of
- engineering
- structures,
- including
- steels,
- stainless
- steels,
- Ni-base
- alloys,
- and
- Al-base
- alloysWelding
- Metallurgy
- and
- Weldability
- describes
- weld
- failure
- mechanisms
- associated
- with
- either
- fabrication
- or
- service,
- and
- failure
- mechanisms
- related
- to
- microstructure
- of
- the
- weldment.
- Weldability
- issues
- are
- divided
- into
- fabrication
- and
- service
- related
- failures;
- 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,
- along
- with
- examples
- of
- SEM
- fractography
- that
- will
- aid
- in
- determining
- failure
- mechanisms.
- Welding
- Metallurgy
- and
- Weldability
- examines
- a
- number
- of
- weldability
- testing
- techniques
- that
- can
- be
- used
- to
- quantify
- susceptibility
- to
- various
- forms
- of
- weld
- cracking.Illustrating
- the
- weldability
- aspects
- of
- structural
- materials
- used
- in
- a
- wide
- variety
- of
- engineering
- structures,
- Welding
- Metallurgy
- and
- Weldability
- provides
- engineers
- and
- students
- with
- the
- information
- needed
- to
- understand
- the
- basic
- concepts
- of
- welding
- metallurgy
- and
- to
- interpret
- the
- failures
- in
- welded components.
