HANDBOOK OF FLEXIBLE AND SMART SHEET FORMING TECHNIQUES

Written by an engineer with decades of practical manufacturing experience

Drawing on state-of-the-a

Welding is a crucial manufacturing technique in creating countless numbers of commonly used items. From buildings to bridges and cars to computers, many of these items would be virtually impossible to produce without the use of welding.

A new edition of a well established and respected textbook from an author who is a recognised authority in this field. Joining techniques are one of the key technologies in materials engineering and this book provides comprehensive coverage of the subject. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of metallurgy, as well as those attending specialist welding courses. 

A focused revision of the welding process information in Volume 6: Welding, Brazing and Soldering (1993). Updated and expanded articles on the fundamental principles of welding, including heat transfer, solidification, residual stress, and distortion. Workhorse methods of arc and resistance welding, friction stir welding, laser beam welding, explosive welding, and ultrasonic welding.

ASM Handbook, Volume 6: Welding, Brazing and Soldering, the most comprehensive reference book ever produced on the major joining technologies and their applications to engineered materials. With over 500 illustrations and 400 tables, this book includes practical advice on consumable selection and procedure development, as well as joining fundamentals.

Volume 14B on sheet forming is the second of two volumes on metalworking technology. It addresses all methods of sheet metal fabrication technologies, selection of equipment and die materials, specification of forming practices for specific alloys, and new techniques for process design and control.
