Book description
The most up-to-date coverage of welding metallurgy aspects and
weldability issues associated with Ni-base alloys
Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys describes
the fundamental metallurgical principles that control the
microstructure and properties of welded Ni-base alloys. It serves as a
practical how-to guide that enables engineers to select the proper
alloys, filler metals, heat treatments, and welding conditions to
ensure that failures are avoided during fabrication and service.
Chapter coverage includes:
- Alloying additions, phase diagrams, and phase stability
- Solid-solution strengthened Ni-base alloys
- Precipitation strengthened Ni-base alloys
- Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys and nickel aluminides
- Repair welding of Ni-base alloys
- Dissimilar welding
- Weldability testing
- High-chromium alloys used in nuclear power applications
With its excellent balance between the fundamentals and practical
problem solving, the book serves as an ideal reference for scientists,
engineers, and technicians, as well as a textbook for undergraduate
and graduate courses in welding metallurgy.
