Fundamentals of Welding Metallurgy

It is possible to weld materials as diverse as stainless steels, zirconium, titanium and uranium, but it is crucial to understand the chemical reactions likely in the surrounding welding atmosphere. This book describes all the metallurgical phenomena involved in different welding processes, from the most standard to the most modern, such as electron beam welding or high energy laser welding.

This book describes all the metallurgical phenomena involved in the different welding processes. Practical examples of a wide variety of metals and alloys are provided, as well as an expert commentary on steel weldability and types of cracking.
