An updated, revised and expanded version of Professor Burdekin's earlier work of the same title, this book explains this branch of thermal engineering in clear, practical terms. It concentrates on steels - the most predominant engineering media - and is essential reading for all those involved in the study or practice of welding high performance steel structures.
Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation and structural materials Welding plays a crucial role or say as a back bone of manufacturing industry to join the components. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new joining process that has been demonstrated in a variety of metals such as steel, titanium, lead, copper and aluminium. The unique properties of friction stir welds make possible some completely new structural designs with significant impact to ship design and construction. Friction stir welding is especially advantageous for joining aluminium and has been exploited commercially around the world in several industries. In the present work the effects of welding speed have been investigated on the microstructural and mechanical properties of friction stir welded aluminium alloy 6063. FSW was carried out at rotational speed of 1300 rpm (constant) and transverse speeds of 35, 50 and 65 mm/min. Mechanical performance has been investigated in terms of hardness, wear resistance and tensile strength. To study the effect of post welding heat treatment on properties of friction stir welded joint, the artificial ageing was carried out at 1600 C for a soaking period of 20 hours in the muffle furnace. The study revealed that friction stir welded joint prepared at welding speed of 35 mm/min exhibited better tensile strength, hardness and wear resistance. Better mechanical properties of the joint prepared at welding speed of 35 mm/min may be attributed due to fine, homogeneous and equaxed grain structure of stir zone. Post welding heat treatment of friction stir welded joint improved the wear resistance and microhardness of the joint. However tensile properties deteriorated with the post welding heat treatment of joint.
"The Complete Guide to Post Weld Heat Treatment PWHT: Standards, Procedures, Applications, and Interview Q&A" is an essential resource for engineers, welders, inspectors, and technicians involved in post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). This PWHT book covers everything you need to know about PWHT, including the historical background, purpose and benefits, materials and welding methods that require PWHT, PWHT methods, temperature and time requirements, cooling methods, process control and monitoring, applications, effects of PWHT, standards and codes related to PWHT, quality control and assurance, PWHT interview questions and answers, health and safety, and future directions in PWHT. This weld heat treatment guidebook provides detailed information on the different types of materials that require PWHT, welding methods, and defects that PWHT can mitigate. It also covers the microstructural changes during PWHT, mechanical properties affected by PWHT, residual stresses and distortion, environmental effects, inspection and testing methods, and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. "Post Weld Heat Treatment book" is a valuable reference for professionals in the oil and gas, nuclear, aerospace, and other industries requiring PWHT. With clear and concise explanations, step-by-step procedures, and helpful illustrations, this post-weld heat treatment book is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their knowledge and skills in PWHT.
This book reviews the behaviour of metals and alloys during welding. In the first part the heat flow in arc welding processes is discussed. The weld thermal cycle is explained in terms of heat input, and the geometry of weld and thicknesses to be welded. The real welding cycle is described in terms of thermal and strain cycles. The weld metal is characterized in terms of fusion stage, absorption of gases and stage of metal crystallization and structural transformation. The metallurgical background of cracking is described by a full set of crackability tests along with the evaluation of metals from the point of view of crackability. Post welding heat treatment is reviewed, and includes the relaxation of stresses induced by welding. Guidelines are given for the selection of steels for welded structures. Several chapters examine the weldability of particular steels, including high strength steels, stainless steels, high alloyed steels, cryogenic steels and other metals and alloys. The theories are quantified in the form of calculations or computing programmes. Readers will find sufficent data for software processing.
