Welding, Brazing, and Soldering
Volume 6 provides information on both the theory and practice of joining engineered materials and parts. It explains the underlying science of welding, brazing, and soldering, emphasizing how chemistry, physics, and metallurgy affect weldment properties and performance. The volume covers nearly 30 of the most common joining methods, describing process parameters, advantages and limitations, and equipment requirements. It also provides extensive information on specific materials, including selection criteria, application considerations, joining properties, and related data. Other topics covered include welding in special environments, corrosion, process modeling, evaluation, and quality control.
