Download or read book Metallurgy of Basic Weld Metal written by G. M. Evans and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the results of over 20 years of research completed this year at one of the world's premier consumable manufacturers and aimed at improving the properties of MMA electrodes for high quality applications. It examines the influence of some 17 elements and welding variables on the composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the resulting weld metal. The often complex relationships discovered are sufficient to give a good understanding of the properties of weld metals produced by other arc welding processes.
