Welding Joining Technology: eBooks

Welding for Beginners has instructions on Master MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding and the metal fabrication techniques you need to repair, create, and duplicate projects in your home welding studio.

Titanium and its alloys are among the most important materials with a wide range of applications. Titanium and its alloy offer a good combination of properties, such as low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, good biocompatibility, and excellent corrosion resistance. These excellent properties make Titanium and its alloys the favourite of many industries that ranges between, land, air and water applications. In this book, Chapter One provides a review of laser additive manufacturing of titanium and its alloys. Chapter Two presents some of these properties produced through research of laser metal deposition of Ti6Al4V. Chapter Three determines the effects of welding heat input on the high-temperature tensile properties, toughness, and microstructural features of titanium alloy. Chapter Four presents a commentary on the positive roles of hydrogen in titanium alloys in the aspects of microstructural refinement, hot workability, superplasticity, powder metallurgy, hydrogen storage, mechanical properties, wear resistance, welding, bonding, machining and deoxidation, with the purpose of helping readers to obtain a quick method of the special and effective hydrogen treatment technology of titanium alloys.

Welding is a conventional joining process that has followed the recent developments in other manufacturing processes, continuing to be an extremely used and investigated process. Several technologies developed in other areas of knowledge have converged in the area of welding, allowing significant improvements in the quality of the products obtained and in the increased productivity of the processes. Although some techniques have been implemented and studied for several decades, the interest of researchers in welding has not diminished, as it can be seen through new processes that have emerged, such as Friction Stir Welding, in addition to many other notable developments in welding processes which apparently seemed to have reached their final stage of maturity. This work brings together a set of very interesting works, being a living proof that welding continues to be heavily investigated and that the developments around this manufacturing process are constantly emerging. Because the materials continue to evolve and the technology around welding also continues to develop at a very good pace, studies on the weldability of new materials and the application of new techniques and technologies to already well known welding processes does not stops happening. The editors are proud to have collected this set of works that can help scholars and researchers to broaden their knowledge in the field of welding, thus contributing to the creation of a knowledge base that allows researchers to start new investigations and achievements in the coming decades.

Fusing aluminum in a multi-material lightweight vehicle is presented via studies on joining dissimilar materials, joining methods, and the performance of the joined materials. The use of aluminum offers a material that embodies properties to meet new standards as the automotive industry continues to pursue improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions. Aluminum's strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance offers manufacturers a material alternative to steel and an additional material, which has long been known in the industry, to be employed in automotive construction. Topics of technical interest include: * Forming * Galvanic Corrosion * Welding, Fastening, Bonding * Maximizing Weight Benefits Production of strong, lightweight structures will contribute significantly to automobile manufacturers meeting mandated fuel economy standards, as well as customer preferences for utility, comfort, and safety. Materials selection and application are critical components to the design of lightweight vehicles. Joining technologies and the relationship of the materials that are joined to meet the design and assembly requirements are presented in this work and also frame the foundation for innovative joining methods for the next generation of lightweight vehicles.
