Welding Handbook, Volume 3, reflects the dramatic changes brought into welding processes over the past decade due to the emergence of new welding techniques and advanced materials. Included are ...

Components for the aerospace or transportation industry are typical applications for fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. These components often require the production of large, complex ...

For some materials and material combinations the use of fusion welding is not practicable. Intermetallics may be formed at the joint interface or cracking may occur at or near the interface, which ...

Several techniques are available for joining thermoplastic composites, including resistance welding and ultrasonic welding. While resistance welding uses Joule heating inside an electrically ...

Laser plastic welding has grown in popularity for medical applications because it reliably joins a wide range of materials, including dissimilar materials. At the same time, the process uses no ...

“Introduction to Welding Processes” provides a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used welding processes, including oxyfuel welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, ...
