Welding Metallurgy
and Weldability of Stainless Steels
Comprehensive
Reference Guide to Welding Stainless Steel
By John C. Lippold, Damian
J. Kotecki
Learn The Ins and
Outs of Welding Stainless Steels
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.
"…offers a solid and detailed coverage of welding
with stainless steels." (E-STREAMS, August 2006)
"…an exciting metallurgy book…that is
difficult to put down…the authors have performed an excellent piece
of work in developing this book." (Materials and Manufacturing
Processes, February 2006)
"...a delight to read...has a wealth of
information and written in a concise, informative manner…" (MRS
Bulletin, January 2006)
"...an authoritative resource for both
students and professionals that serves as a handy
reference...essential." (CHOICE, December 2005)
"…information is not something that can be
easily found in most metallurgical reference books…extremely useful
for the selection or application of stainless steels." (Journal
of Metals Online, July 21, 2005)
"...an up-to-date textbook that will surely
become a respected volume for years to come." (Welding Journal,
September 2005)
