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.

The records of accidents in industry and transport not only indicate trends in the incidence of loss or casualties, but also serve as a measure of human behavior. Covering catastrophes and supercatastrophes from the Titanic to the Eastonia ferry disaster right through to modern oil rig disasters such as the Piper Alpha, Engineering Catastrophes, Second Edition provides a broad survey of accidents involving structures and vehicles. It also considers natural disasters with special attention to earthquake resistant buildings. New in the Second Edition New chapter - 'The Human Factor' reviews loss and fatality rates together with their relationship to large-scale events such as war and the trade cycle New information - Historical data on casualties and loss in road and rail accidents Case histories - Updated case histories illustrate how human frailty, the unexpected weakness of materials, or a combination of both lead to tragic circumstances Written by an international authority in the field of metallurgy and welding, this revised and updated reference analyzes historical records to determine how loss and fatality rates vary with time. Building on the foundation created in the first edition, Engineering Catastrophes, Second gives you the information you need to make educated decisions about quality assurance, quality control, and loss prevention.
