Stainless Steel Welding Book

At a glance..

The purpose of this booklet is to help designers and manufacturing engineers achieve a better understanding of the welding characteristics of stainless steels, so they may exercise better control over the finished products with respect to welding. In addition to welding, other ancillary joining methods are discussed, including soldering and brazing.

The details..

"Welding of Stainless Steels and Other Joining Methods" provides an in-depth analysis on the welding characteristics of various types of stainless steels. The book was originally published by the Committee of Stainless Steel Producers in association with ASM International publication "Joining Of Stainless Steels." This handbook has been reprinted by Nickel Development Institute as part their designer handbooks series No.9-002.

The book explains that there are well over one hundred different types or alloys under three general classifications used to identify them; Metallurgical Structure, AISI numbering system (200,300,and 400 Series numbers),and Unified Number System developed by ASTM & SAE for all commercial metals/alloys.The author emphasizes that designers should recognize any changes during welding which may affect corrosion resistance,strength,fabrication economy etc., so it's important to exercise care while welding.

The purpose behind this booklet is to help manufacturing engineers & designers understand better how they can control finished products regarding its welds using proper techniques like soldering,brazing etc.In addition,this handbook also discusses other ancillary joining methods along with details about filler metal,joint design,welder skill level etc.This information will enable readers to make informed decisions when selecting appropriate materials for specific applications.

Overall," Welding Of Stainless Steels And Other Joining Methods" serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about these unique engineering materials capable meeting broad range design criteria.It offers practical advice on how best practices can be applied during fabrication processes such as welding,solderin,g brazzing among others.
