Cracking Phenomena in Welds IV [Hardcover]

This is the fourth volume inthe well-established series of compendiums devoted to the subject of weld hotcracking. It contains the papers presented at the 4th InternationalCracking Workshop held in Berlin in April 2014. In the context of thisworkshop, the term cracking refers to hot cracking in the classical andprevious sense, but also to cold cracking, stress-corrosion cracking andelevated temp. solid-state cracking.  A variety of different crackingsubjects are discussed, including test standards, crack prediction, weldabilitydetermination, crack mitigation, stress states, numerical modelling, andcracking mechanisms.  Likewise, many different alloys were investigatedsuch as aluminum alloys, copper-aluminum dissimilar metal, austenitic stainlesssteel, nickel base alloys, duplex stainless steel, creep resistant steel, andhigh strength steel.Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.- Steels and Stainless Steels.- Nickel-Base Alloys.This is the fourth volume in the well-established series of compendiums devoted to the subject of weld hot cracking.? It contains the papers presented at the 4th International Hot Cracking Workshop held in Berlin in April 2014. In the context of this workshop, the term hot cracking refers to elevated temperature cracking associated with either the weld metal or heat-affected zone. These hot cracking phenomena include weld solidification cracking, HAZ and weld metal liquation cracking, and ductility-dip cracking. The book is divided into three major sections based on material type; specifically aluminum alloys, steels, and nickel-base alloys.
