Control of Microstructures and Properties in Steel Arc Welds [Hardcover]

Control of Microstructures and Properties in Steel Arc Welds provides an overview of the most recent developments in welding metallurgy. Topics discussed include common welding processes, the thermal cycle during welding, defects that may occur during the welding process, the metallurgy of the material, metallurgical processes in the heat-affected zone and the fused metal, and the relationship between microstructures and mechanical properties. The book's final chapter presents examples of welded joints, illustrating how modern theories are capable of predicting the microstructure and properties of these joints. This book is an excellent resource for welding engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, and others interested in the subject.1. Arc Welding Processes 2. Metallurgy of the Base Material 3. The Heat-Affected Zone 4. The Weld Metal 5. Relation Between Microstructure and Mechanical Properties 6. Control of Microstructure and PropertiesThis book shows that the properties of a weld in steel can be predicted and controlled through control of the microstructures that appear. It is intended to be used by undergraduate and graduate students specializing in welding.US? 1994 by CRC Press, Inc
