Procedure tables help until a project falls outside them or a joint fails unexpectedly. Then understanding matters more than memorization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat this book gives you\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt explains the metallurgy behind the weld in a clear progression, from iron and steel transformations through heat flow, the heat-affected zone and the defect mechanisms behind most structural weld failures. Each chapter develops theory from first principles, then puts it to work in worked examples and practice problems with worked answers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat you will be able to do\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand how welding thermal cycles create a localized, nonuniform heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelate heat-affected zone microstructure to hardness, strength and toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply carbon equivalent and preheat reasoning to the weldability of hardenable steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell hydrogen cracking, hot cracking and lamellar tearing apart by mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare the weldability concerns of carbon, low-alloy and stainless steels and of aluminum and other nonferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeigh filler metal selection, dilution and weld metal microstructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatch mechanical tests and nondestructive examination methods to the defects they can reveal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside the book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFourteen chapters move from crystal structure, phase diagrams and thermal cycles to alloy-specific weldability, crack mechanisms, qualification, testing and examination, and close with original failure-analysis case scenarios that draw on every earlier chapter. Appendices provide carbon equivalent and hardenability formulas and hardness and mechanical property tables. SI units are used throughout, with United States customary equivalents in parentheses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWelding engineers, welding technologists, inspectors, metallurgists and students, whether they are meeting these ideas for the first time or returning to the metallurgy behind a familiar procedure. Readers who already know basic physical metallurgy can begin at the heat-flow chapter and use the earlier chapters for review.\u003cbr\u003eThis is an educational text. It does not replace the governing codes, standards and specifications for a project, or qualified engineering review.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpen Applied Welding Metallurgy and begin building the understanding to read a welded joint from the microstructure outward.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":68015364440215,"sku":"9798178450499","price":9337.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798178450499.webp?v=1791394968","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/applied-welding-metallurgy-a-practical-guide-to-microstructure-weldability-and-joint-performance-9798178450499","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
