Astragal Press The Engine's Moan: American Steam Whistles
Book SynopsisHere, Ed Fagen, one of the nation’s foremost authorities on steam whistles, has provided us with a broadly researched, eloquently written and marvelously witty book, the first and only one on the subject. It includes comprehensive, illustrated chapters on: the history of the steam whistle, the voice of the Industrial Revolution, and how it developed; the various uses of steam whistles on locomotives, ships, factories, firehouse roofs, circuses; the broad range of whistle manufacturers, their histories and their product lines (including how to identify and date whistles, as well as an extensive discussion on the relative rarityof whistle types); how to acquire, organize, and preserve a whistle collection; how to repair and restore steam whistles; how to blow steam whistles on steam or compressed air; how a steam whistle actually works – a point that remains somewhat controversial even today. Also included are an illustrated glossary of whistle terms, an illustrated review of the major whistle-related U.S. design patents, and a comprehensive index. A joy to read, this book is a true “must have” for the railfan, collector, curator, historian of science, industrial archeologist, and anyone for whom the sound of this icon of connotative richness has ever beckoned to adventures that live in the imagination.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH A Practical Guide to Welding Solutions: Overcoming Technical and Material-Specific Issues
Book SynopsisAs critically important as welding is to a wide spectrum of manufacturing, construction, and repair, it is not without its problems. Those dependent on welding know only too well how easy it is to find information on the host of available processes and on the essential metallurgy that can enable success, but how frustratingly difficult it can be to find guidance on solving problems that sooner or later arise with welding, welds, or weldments. Here for the first time is the book those that practice and/or depend upon welding have needed and awaited. A Practical Guide to Welding Solutions addresses the numerous technical and material-specific issues that can interfere with success. Renowned industrial and academic welding expert and prolific author and speaker Robert W. Messler, Jr. guides readers to the solutions they seek with a well-organized search based on how a problem manifests itself (i.e., as distortion, defect, or appearance), where it appears (i.e., in the fusion zone heat-affected zone, or base metal), or it certain materials or situations.Table of ContentsPreface xi 1 Introduction 1 Further Reading 6 2 Categorization of Welding and Weld Problems 7 2.1 What Is Welding? 7 2.2 Microstructural Zones of Welds 13 2.3 Origin of Problems in Welding and Welds 19 2.4 How Problems Can Be Logically Categorized? 20 References 21 Further Reading 21 Part I Manifestation of Problems with Welds and Weldments 23 3 Problems with Joint Setup and Weld Joints 25 3.1 Joint Efficiency 25 3.2 Weld Joint Types and Weld Configurations 26 3.3 Joint Setup Problems 31 3.4 Problems with Weld Profile 35 3.5 Troubleshooting Guide 42 References 45 Further Reading 45 4 Shape Distortion, Dimensional Shrinkage, and Geometric Instability 47 4.1 Thermal Versus Mechanical Stresses in a Structure 47 4.2 Residual Stresses Versus Distortion 48 4.3 Origin and Effect of Volumetric Shrinkage 48 4.4 Origin and Effect of Thermal Contraction 52 4.5 Problems from Nonuniform Thermal Contraction and CTE Mismatches 57 4.6 Problems from Distortion and from Residual Stresses 60 4.7 Distortion Control and Residual Stress Reduction 60 4.8 Troubleshooting Guide 65 References 65 Further Reading 66 5 Porosity 67 5.1 The Most Common Problem in Welds 67 5.2 Types of Weld Porosity 70 5.3 Gases in Molten Weld Metal 73 5.4 The Many Possible Causes of Porosity in Welds 79 5.5 Attempting to Minimize Porosity Formation in Fusion Welds 84 5.6 Troubleshooting Porosity Problems in Welds 85 References 87 Further Reading 87 6 Cracks 89 6.1 The Most Dreaded Defect in Welds 89 6.2 Classification of Cracking and Cracks in Welds and Welding 90 6.3 Hot Cracking and Cracks 91 6.4 Cold Cracking and Cracks 98 6.5 Other Weld-Related Cracking and Cracks 101 6.6 Crack-Prone Metals and Alloys 102 6.7 Troubleshooting Cracking Problems in Welds 105 References 106 Further Reading 107 7 Nonmetallic and Metallic Inclusions 109 7.1 Solid Versus Gas Inclusions 109 7.2 Nonmetallic Inclusions in Welds 110 7.3 Metallic Inclusions in Welds 114 7.4 Troubleshooting Problems with Inclusions in Welds 115 References 116 Further Reading 116 8 Weld Appearance 117 8.1 Can You Judge a Book by Its Cover?
