Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of

The metallurgical behavior and "weldability" of nickel-base alloy welds is of critical engineering and commercial importance. Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Nickel-Base Alloys provides the most up-to-date treatment on how the wide variety of nickel-base alloys respond to the heat and stresses that result from welding. Many practical examples and case studies demonstrate the application of these principles, making this a value-rich reference and how-to guide for "hands-on" engineers, technicians, and scientists, as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
