Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of 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.
The book begins with an excellent background into the physical metallurgy of stainless steels with emphasis placed on the role of alloying elements and their effects on mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and phase equilibria. I found that this technical information is extremely useful for the selection or application of stainless steels.
After the general introduction of stainless steel, each of the various types of stainless steels (i.e., austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening) are discussed separately. I found this to be very practical and logical in organization; each type of stainless steel was discussed separately and in detail regarding welding characteristics, weldability, filler metal selection, or suitability, selection of preheat, interpass, and post-weld heat treatment temperatures. If you needed to find specific information for a particular grade of stainless steel, you could use the index and go to the source in the text. If you needed to have more background information, you could start at the beginning of the applicable chapter.
