Handbook of Structural Welding: Processes, Materials and Methods Used in the Welding of Major Structures, Pipelines and Process Plant

Modern welding processes must guarantee the performance and durability of everything from CPI equipment to truck cabs. Here are virtually all the information and guidelines engineers need to maximize the structural integrity and corrosion resistance of the full spectrum of welded materials. With state-of-the-art coverage of all welding processes-solid phase, fusion, high power density, and overlay techniques-the book also details the metallurgical effects of fusion welding, the behavior of welds in service, structural materials for pipelines and process plants, measurement pitfalls and control checks, and more! Special sections explain the behavior of individual metals, and alloys under varying conditions, there's information on controlling quality and hundreds of precise illustrations which clarify every key point. An indispensable hands-on reference and working companion for mechanical engineers and metallurgists.
