Welding: Research Metal Properties

"Since 1991, the McGraw-Hill Machining and Metalworking Handbook has been an essential source of information for machine designers and machinists alike. Covering a wide variety of subjects, ranging from machine tooling to die making, it is the only professional reference to encompass both machining and metalworking."

This book is intended for students of metallurgy, as well as those attending specialist welding courses. The text 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. 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.

This book introduces the current state-of-the-art technology in materials and manufacturing processes with an emphasis on the rapidly growing technologies in the plastics and aerospace industries. It takes a unique approach by presenting specific materials and manufacturing processes, then progresses into a discussion of the ways in which these materials and processes are integrated into today's functioning manufacturing industry.

For courses in Basic Welding and Welding Technology. This well-respected, introductory welding text contains coverage of the latest codes, materials, and processes necessary to become proficient in an ever more complex industry. The technology of welding is growing and the book's focus on arc welding processes and the use of steel in construction reflect those changes, while continuing to provide a comprehensive coverage of basic principles and theory.

Physical Metallurgy and Advanced Materials discusses the fundamental principles of metallurgy and materials science. Each chapter ends with a set of questions to enable readers to apply the scientific concepts presented in the chapter, as well as emphasize important material properties. Topics covered include atoms and atomic arrangements, phase equilibria and structure, crystal defects, characterization and analysis of materials, and physical and mechanical properties of materials. The chapters also examine the properties of materials, such as advanced alloys, ceramics, glass, polymers, plastics, composites, biomaterials, sports materials, and nanomaterials.
