Advanced Welding Techniques Current Trends and Future Perspectives
To meet weight, quality, and cost targets, it is essential to design, develop, and manufacture optimal, cost- effective welded structures that take into consideration material, process, and dimensioning procedures. For effective design, a weld designer must have a comprehensive grasp of welding basics, associated metallurgy, and fabrication and characterization processes. Advanced Welding Techniques highlights breakthroughs in advances in welding methods and provides readers with the ability to accurately identify the appropriate welding processes and optimal improvement methods for intended applications. It offers comprehensive guidance on welding design to ensure readers are equipped to provide solutions to any technical malfunctions they may encounter, including:
• Supplies essential stepwise knowledge on design for welding, starting with the fundamentals to the complex
• Covers role of filler metals and parameters on welding performance, emerging and advanced welding techniques, and advantages and limitations of various methods
• Discusses integration of additive manufacturing and welding.
• Contains practical applications
• Considers challenges and future scope for further research as well as future challenges
This book offers students, academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and industry experts a comprehensive overview of the most recent breakthroughs in advanced welding methods and their applications to joining various metals and their alloys.
