Volume 6A – Welding Fundamentals and Processes is a focused revision
of the welding process information in the 1993 Vol. 6 – Welding, Brazing, and
Soldering. The new volume expands on
the fundamental principles of welding, including heat transfer, solidification,
residual stress and distortion, and
has an all-new section on modeling and
simulation of welding processes. Articles cover all welding processes, from the
workhorse methods of arc and
resistance welding, to newer methods
like friction stir welding and laser beam welding, to specialty methods like
explosive welding and ultrasonic welding.
One-third of the articles are all-new, and welding articles from the
1993 edition have been updated and expanded, making this volume the most
complete
reference source anywhere on welding
fundamentals and processes. All articles are expert-written and peer reviewed.
From theory to practice, the book is a comprehensive resource for
evaluating and selecting welding methods, working with vendors, understanding
how
processing variables affect welding
outcomes, and more.
