Download or read book Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels written by John C. Lippold and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels, the first book in over twenty years to address welding metallurgy and weldability issues associated with stainless steel, offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of these topics currently available. The authors emphasize fundamental metallurgical principles governing microstructure evolution and property development of stainless steels, including martensistic, ferric, austenitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening grades. They present a logical and well-organized look at the history, evolution, and primary uses of each stainless steel, including detailed descriptions of the associated weldability issues.
