Welding Technology for Engineers deals with three major areas of welding technology – welding metallurgy, welding process technology and welding quality assurance. In welding metallurgy, critical aspects of weldability and difficulties experienced during welding of various ferrous and non-ferrous engineering alloys are addressed. The fundamentals and latest advances in welding process technology, and welding qualifications and quality control measures required for quality assurance are also discussed. Advanced non-destructive testing techniques, along with case studies and solutions to challenging requirements, and corrosion of welds, of use to maintenance engineers are covered. Is a comprehensive resource on all aspects of weld production, quality and performance with specialised topics such as welding design, control of residual stresses and distortion, mechanical testing of weldments and corrosion behaviour”

• Describes in detail welding processes commonly employed in production to enable process selection, starting from basic concepts in welding and metallurgical principles Includes comprehensive information of weldability of metals and alloys in common industrial use including steels, stainless steels, aluminium, titanium, nickel and copper alloys, essential for welding today's highly engineered materials Details technological information that an engineer needs to know about weld quality control Provides examples of advanced non-destructive techniques illustrating solutions to difficult inspection problems, including innovative techniques
