Presented here are the fundamental aspects of fusion welding including heat and fluid flow during the welding process, the physical chemistry of reactions, the solidification process in the weld fusion zone and transformations of the heat-affected zone. Basic principles of fusion welding rather than a collection of case studies about a variety of materials and conditions are stressed in addition to an emphasis on physical principles rather than empiricism. The techniques and results of research in electron microscopy and computer modeling are incorporated. Special features of the book include relation to the more common problems of welding technology, as well as covering the more exotic materials. The welding process is also discussed in conjunction with fatigue, creep and fracture.
