Welding and Joining of Advanced High-Strength Steels and Non-ferrous Alloys

Welding and Joining of Advanced High-Strength Steels and Non-ferrous Alloys: Processes, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties provides an overview of various welding processes for high strength steels and nonferrous alloys, solutions to commonly encountered problems when welding these materials, as well as the impact welding has on the microstructure and mechanical properties of these welded metals and joints. Real-world insight developed during welding experiments, post-weld heat treatments, and physical and numerical simulations is included, as are production processes for high strength steels and nonferrous alloys, taking into account applications, fatigue property improvement, and higher strength and thicknesses. Other topics covered include the design of filler materials suitable for weldability of high-strength steels, electron beam welding of AHSSs, fatigue crack propagation, fracture mechanical analysis in heat affected zones, twin-spot laser welding of multiphase steels, resistance spot welding, very high cycle fatigue failure, laser welding of aluminum and titanium alloys, weldability of copper and copper alloys, and more. Case studies and applications are included throughout.
