Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys

Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloysdescribes the fundamental metallurgical principles that control themicrostructure and properties of welded Ni-base alloys. It servesas a practical how-to guide that enables engineers to select theproper alloys, filler metals, heat treatments, and weldingconditions to ensure that failures are avoided during fabricationand service. Chapter coverage includes:

• Alloying additions, phase diagrams, and phase stability
• Solid-solution strengthened Ni-base alloys
• Precipitation strengthened Ni-base alloys
• Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys and nickel aluminides
• Repair welding of Ni-base alloys
• Dissimilar welding
• Weldability testing
• High-chromium alloys used in nuclear power applications

With its excellent balance between the fundamentals andpractical problem solving, the book serves as an ideal referencefor scientists, engineers, and technicians, as well as a textbookfor undergraduate and graduate courses in welding metallurgy.
