Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys

<b>The most up-to-date coverage of welding metallurgy aspects and weldability issues associated with Ni-base alloys</b> <p>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:</p> <ul> <li>Alloying additions, phase diagrams, and phase stability</li> <li>Solid-solution strengthened Ni-base alloys</li> <li>Precipitation strengthened Ni-base alloys</li> <li>Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys and nickel aluminides</li> <li>Repair welding of Ni-base alloys</li> <li>Dissimilar welding</li> <li>Weldability testing</li> <li>High-chromium alloys used in nuclear power applications</li> </ul> <p>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.</p>
