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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Categorization of Welding and Weld Problems 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 What Is Welding? 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Microstructural Zones of Welds 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Origin of Problems in Welding and Welds 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 How Problems Can Be Logically Categorized? 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Manifestation of Problems with Welds and Weldments 23\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Problems with Joint Setup and Weld Joints 25\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Joint Efficiency 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Weld Joint Types and Weld Configurations 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Joint Setup Problems 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Problems with Weld Profile 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Troubleshooting Guide 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Shape Distortion, Dimensional Shrinkage, and Geometric Instability 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Thermal Versus Mechanical Stresses in a Structure 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Residual Stresses Versus Distortion 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Origin and Effect of Volumetric Shrinkage 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Origin and Effect of Thermal Contraction 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Problems from Nonuniform Thermal Contraction and CTE Mismatches 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.6 Problems from Distortion and from Residual Stresses 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.7 Distortion Control and Residual Stress Reduction 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.8 Troubleshooting Guide 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Porosity 67\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 The Most Common Problem in Welds 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Types of Weld Porosity 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Gases in Molten Weld Metal 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 The Many Possible Causes of Porosity in Welds 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.5 Attempting to Minimize Porosity Formation in Fusion Welds 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.6 Troubleshooting Porosity Problems in Welds 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Cracks 89\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 The Most Dreaded Defect in Welds 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Classification of Cracking and Cracks in Welds and Welding 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.3 Hot Cracking and Cracks 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 Cold Cracking and Cracks 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Other Weld-Related Cracking and Cracks 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.6 Crack-Prone Metals and Alloys 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.7 Troubleshooting Cracking Problems in Welds 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Nonmetallic and Metallic Inclusions 109\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Solid Versus Gas Inclusions 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 Nonmetallic Inclusions in Welds 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 Metallic Inclusions in Welds 114\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 Troubleshooting Problems with Inclusions in Welds 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Weld Appearance 117\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1 Can You Judge a Book by Its Cover?
