Weld Cracking in Ferrous Alloys by Raman Singh. This book benefits tremendously from the participation of international experts in complementary topics of welding technology and research. The chapters deal invariably with the most recent technological advances in the respective topics while keeping an eye on the other primary purpose of the book, i.e. to make the chapters suitable for those without formal training in welding/metallurgical engineering. The book has three parts. Part I aims at providing fundamentals as well as the most recent advances in the areas of welding technology, design, and material selection for preventing weld cracking. This part consists of chapters on such topics as robust welding technologies, component design against cracking, and selection of crack-resistant stainless steels. Part II discusses weld crack behavior, evaluation, and repair of cracking/ cracked welds.
