Hot Cracking Phenomena In Welds Iii by John Lippold, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This is the third in a series of compendiums devoted to the subject of weld hot cracking. It contains 22 papers presented at the 3rdInternational Hot Cracking Workshop in Columbus, Ohio USA in March 2010. In the context of this workshop, the term "hot cracking" refers to elevated temperature cracking associated with either the weld metal or heat-affected zone. These hot cracking phenomena include weld solidification cracking, HAZ and weld metal liquation cracking, and ductility-dip cracking. The book is divided into three major sections based on material type; specifically aluminum alloys, steels, and nickel-base alloys. Each of these sections begins with a keynote paper from prominent researchers in the field: Dr. Sindo Kou from the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Thomas Böllinghaus from BAM and the University of Magdeburg, and Dr. John DuPont from Lehigh University. The papers contained within include the latest insight into the mechanisms associated with hot cracking in these materials and methods to prevent cracking through material selection, process modification, or other means. The threeHot Cracking Phenomena in Weldscompendiums combined contain a total of 64 papers and represent the best collection of papers on the topic of hot cracking ever assembled. | Hot Cracking Phenomena In Welds Iii by John Lippold, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
