New and extensively updated, Volume 5 of the Welding Handbook: Materials and Applications, Part 2 is an excellent reference source for engineers, designers, educators, technicians, and welders. Sixty-seven experts from research labs, universities, manufacturers, and fabricators have collaborated on this volume to ensure the accuracy and currency of each of the 10 chapters. The volume covers a wide array of materials to include aluminum; magnesium, copper; nickel and cobalt; lead and zinc; titanium; reactive, reflective and precious metals; plastics; ceramics; and composites. Each chapter includes a thorough explanation of the metal or material, details of the welding processes used to join it, safe practices, and a comprehensive bibliography.
Scope : This is Volume 5, the last in the series of the Ninth Edition of the Welding Handbook. It is Materials and Applications, Part 2, presented in ten peer-reviewed chapters covering the welding of nonferrous metals and materials. The titles of the chapters in this book indicate the variety of challenges presented to welders, designers, welding engineers, and others in the welding workplace. The scientists who examine the microstructures of metals and other materials, identify constituents, and determine how the properties of these materials can be used and controlled during welding have contributed to the expanded information in this book. Some of the best scientists in the welding industry from universities, government and private research laboratories, metals-producing companies, fabricators, consulting firms, and testing facilities have stepped forward as volunteers to update this volume. They are recognized on the title pages of their respective chapters. This volume covers the technicalities of joining aluminum; magnesium; copper; nickel and cobalt; lead and zinc; titanium; reactive, refractory, and precious metals; plastics; ceramics; and composites. Each chapter includes a thorough explanation of the metal or other material, details of the welding processes used to join it, and a comprehensive bibliography. A section on safe practices pertinent to the specific metal or material is included in each chapter. Two appendices provide supplemental information. Appendix A is a list of sources of safety codes and standards, with contact information of the publishers. Appendix B is a reference guide to Ninth Edition Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4, included to accommodate the frequent references to the chapters of these books. This volume concludes the Ninth edition of the Welding Handbook, following the four published volumes: Volume 1, Welding Science and Technology, which provides the foundation for successful welding and allied processes; Volume 2, Welding Processes, Part 1, which contains the technical details of arc welding and cutting, the gas processes, brazing, and soldering; Volume 3, Welding Processes, Part 2, comprised of the resistance, solid-state, and other welding processes; and Volume 4, Materials and Applications, Part 1, which covers the ferrous metals. Volume 5, Materials and Applications, Part 2, covers nonferrous metals and materials, including ceramics, plastics, and composites. These five books, all peer-reviewed, are made up of 67 chapters; overall, they represent the collaborative work of a total of 428 volunteers who generously spent many hours of personal time to provide authentic technical information from their specific areas of expertise. The Welding Handbook Committee extends its gratitude to each of these volunteers.
