Welding engineering : an introduction / David H. Phillips.

Includes bibliographical references.

What is welding engineering? -- Arc welding processes -- Resistance welding processes -- Solid-state welding processes -- High energy density welding processes -- Other approaches to welding and joining -- Design considerations for welding -- Heat flow, residual stress and distortion -- Welding metallurgy -- Welding metallurgy of carbon steels -- Welding metallurgy of stainless steels -- Welding metallurgy of non-ferrous alloys -- Weld quality -- Codes, standards, and welding qualification -- Safe practices in welding.

"The Welding Engineering program at The Ohio State University is well known for its long history of graduating students who serve critical roles in industry. This textbook was written for use in an undergraduate course in Welding Engineering that I have taught at Ohio State for the past 12 years. The course serves as an introduction to the Welding Engineering curriculum at Ohio State, and is intended to prepare sophomore students for more in depth Welding Engineering courses in welding processes, metallurgy, design, and NDE, which are required courses they take during their junior and senior years. Much of what is included in this book comes from my class lectures. Since both the course and this book represent An Introduction to all the important topics associated with the field of Welding Engineering, the coverage of each of the topics is intended to be relatively brief and concise"-- Provided by publisher.
