Synopsis
Welding has traditionally been regarded as a craft rather than a technological manufacturing process. This reputation has not been helped by the dependence of conventional joining techniques on highly skilled manual operators and the relatively high cost of certain welding processes. Developments in recent welding technology have been devoted to an improved understanding of the basic welding processes. This manual provides an overview of common production welding processes, discussing recent developments and covering electronic power regulation, computer control, automation and process monitoring. The text indicates how advances in welding technology may be used to increase cost effective joints of appropriate quality.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Advanced welding processes provides an excellent introductory review of the range of welding technologies available to the structural and mechanical engineer. The book begins by discussing general topics such power sources, filler materials and gases used in advanced welding. A central group of chapters then assesses the main welding techniques: gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), high energy density processes and narrow-gap welding techniques. Two final chapters review process control, automation and robotics.
Advanced welding processes is an invaluable guide to selecting the best welding technology for mechanical and structural engineers.
