Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys

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 stabilitySolid-solution strengthened Ni-base alloysPrecipitation strengthened Ni-base alloysOxide dispersion strengthened alloys and nickel aluminidesRepair welding of Ni-base alloysDissimilar weldingWeldability testingHigh-chromium alloys used in nuclear power applicationsWith 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.
