Friction Stir Welding and Processing - $198.95 each
 |
Friction stir welding
is a relatively new joining process developed
initially for aluminum alloys.
It is a solid-state
joining technique that is energy efficient,
environment friendly, and versatile.
This book covers the
rapidly growing area of friction stir welding.
It also addresses the
use of the technology for other types of materials
processing, including superplastic forming, casting
modification, and surface treatments.
The book has been
prepared to serve as the first general reference on
friction stir technology. Information is provided on
tools, machines, process modeling, material flow,
microstructural development and properties.
Materials addressed
include aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, steels,
nickel base alloys, and copper alloys.
The chapters have been
written by the leading experts in this field,
representing leading industrial companies and
university and government research institutions.
