Translated from the German, this is a practical book for engineers which explains the trials, development and manufacturing processes involved in electron beam welding.
This document presents Recommended Practices for Electron Beam Welding and Allied Processes. It is intended tocover common applications of the process. Processes definitions, safe practices, general process requirements, and inspection criteria are provided.
Reported progress on the electron-beam welding of commercially pure W indicates that sound crack-free welds can be made if the weld is not restrained during welding. Although the data are not all consistent, welds which are smooth and have minimum fusion and heat-affected zone width should be the strongest and most ductile. Tensile strengths are equivalent to the base metal near the recrystallization temperature but are appreciably lower at room temperature. The ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures for electron-beam-welded tungsten are above that of the base metal. The impact resistance of electron-beam-welded tungsten is very low. Electron-beam welding of tungsten parts should be thoroughly evaluated on production prototypes before specifying its use. (Author).
This book presents recent material science-based and mechanical analysis-based advances in joining processes. It includes all related processes, e.g. friction stir welding, joining by plastic deformation, laser welding, clinch joining, and adhesive bonding, as well as hybrid joints. It gathers selected full-length papers from the 1st Conference on Advanced Joining Processes.
Introduction to Welding and Brazing covers the various aspects of metal joining processes, theory, practice, and application. This book is composed of nine chapters. Considerable chapters are devoted to the processes, practice, and principles of arc, resistance, and pressure welding. A chapter describes the principles and applications of other welding processes, such as gas, thermit, and electron beam welding. The final chapters deal with the metallurgical application, practice, and principles of soldering and brazing. This book will be of value to the researchers and workers in the metal joining fields.
This is one of the first books describing in detail research and development work carried out in the former USSR and in the CIS countries in the area of welding in space. Information has been scattered throughout various journals and conference proceedings and this book presents a comprehensive picture of individual stages of development and construction of space stations. The authors describe in detail the work carried out at the E O Paton Electric Welding Institute (the main organisation working in this field).
This standard covers all aspects of safety and health in the wleding environment, emphasizing oxygen gas and arc welding processes with some coverage given to resistance welding. It contains information on protection of personnel and the general area, ventilation, fire preventiion and protection, and confined spaces. A significant section is devoted to precautionary information, showing examples, and an extensive bibliography is included.
