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. It is also a valuable source of reference for practising engineers and metallurgists concerned with joining processes. The text covers the metallurgical changes that take place during the welding process, the properties of welded joints, defects associated with welding and the behaviour of welded joints in service. There is a chapter devoted to joints between metals and ceramics, and on the use of structural adhesives. The various techniques used in microwelding and the joining of solid-state devices to printed circuit boards are briefly described. In addition to revising and updating the text throughout the author has made some specific alterations and additions to the book:Brittle and ductile behaviour of solids, ductile francture, and the velocity of crack propogation are now included in the section on Fracture; Friction stir welding in now included; There is an additional chapter on adhesive bonding which includes bonding; forces, polymer chemistry, types of adhesive, production technology, quality control and applications; The section on heat flow has been expanded and includes worked examples; A section on weld defects and the evaluation of non-destructive tests has been added; A section on the welding metallurgy of aluminium-lithium alloys has been added; A new section describes major structural failure in such catastrophes as the 'Alexander L Kielland' accident and the Kobe earthquake, and considers the role of welding in such failures.

There is much to be gained from the study of catastrophes. Likewise the records of accidents in industry and transport are of great importance, not only by indicating trends in the incidence of loss or casualties, but also as a measure of human behaviour. The third edition of this well received book places emphasis on the human factor, with the first two chapters providing a method of analysing the records of accident and all-cause mortality rates to show their relationship with levels of economic development and growth rates, and to make suggestions as to the way in which such processes may be linked. Case histories are given throughout the book. These are designed to show how human frailty, or the unexpected weakness of materials, or a combination of both, can lead to dire and tragic circumstances.

Metallurgy of Welding (Woodhead Publishing Series in Welding and Other Joining Technologies)

Engineering Catastrophes, Causes and Effects of Major Accidents

Woodhead Publishing, Ltd.

This is a well-established textbook that primarily covers the metallurgical changes that take place during the welding process, the properties of welded joints, defects associated with welding, and the behavior of welded joints in service. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated for this sixth edition. A new chapter on adhesive bonding has been written which explores bonding forces, polymer chemistry, types of adhesive, production technology, quality control, and applications. New sections have been added on the brittle and ductile behavior of solids, ductile fracture and the velocity of crack propagation; friction stir welding; weld defects and the evaluation of nondestructive tests; the metallurgy of superaustenitic stainless steel; welding metallurgy of aluminum-lithium alloys; and major structural failures and the role of welding in such failures. Key Features: - Covers new welding processes (such as friction stir welding) - Text has been completely revised and updated from previous edition - New section on major structural failures includes the role of welding in real-life examples
