Welding Technology and Design English 2008

This book deals with welding methodology and design aspects of welding. The first chapter explains the different welding methods while the second one describes the necessary welding metallurgy aspects of the material. Basics of strength of materials and fracture mechanics are presented in chapter 3. The problems of residual stress and distortion are discussed in chapter 4. Fatigue and high temperature creep are frequently encountered in welded components and so are discussed in chapters 5 and 6. Design of tubular joints and pressure vessels is detailed in chapter 7. Defects, their causes and remedial measures and welding codes and tests are given in chapters 8 and 9, respectively. Design of some typical joints is presented in chapter 10. The appendix provides typical questions and design problems.The book will be very useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Metallurgical, Mechanical and Production Engineering. It will also be useful to welding design engineers and can be used as an authentic reference source.
