New developments in advanced welding
(ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-970-3; ISBN-10: 1-85573-970-4)
Recent developments in high-technology areas have significantly transformed the
welding industry. Automation, computers, process control, sophisticated scientific
instruments and advanced processing methods are all common in today's modern
industry. Today's engineers and technologists have to support complex systems and apply
sophisticated welding technologies. This comprehensive new book discusses the changes
in advanced welding technologies preparing the reader for the modern industry.
Welding residual stress and distortion
(ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-771-6; ISBN-10: 1-85573-771-X)
Measurement techniques for characterisation of residual stress and distortion have
improved significantly. More importantly the development and application of computa-
tional welding mechanics have been phenomenal. Through the collaboration of experts,
this book provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject. It develops sufficient
theoretical treatments on heat transfer, solid mechanics and materials behaviour that are
essential for understanding and determining welding residual stress and distortion. It will
outline the approach for computational analysis that engineers with sufficient background
can follow and apply. The book will be useful for advanced analysis of the subject and
provide examples and practical solutions for welding engineers.
The science and technology of materials in automotive engines
(ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-742-6; ISBN-10: 1-85573-742-6)
This new book provides an introductory text on the science and technology of materials
used in automotive engines. It focuses on reciprocating engines, both four and two-stroke,
with particular emphasis on their characteristics and the types of materials used in their
construction. The book considers the engine in terms of each specific part: the cylinder,
piston, camshaft, valves, crankshaft, connecting rod and catalytic converter. The
materials used in automotive engines are required to fulfill a multitude of functions. It is a
subtle balance between material properties, essential design and high performance
characteristics. The intention here is to describe the metallurgy, surface modification,
wear resistance, and chem ical composition of these ma terial s. It also includes
supplementary notes that support the core text. The book will be essential reading for
engineers and designers of engines, as well as lecturers and graduate students in the fields
of combustion engineering, machine design and materials science looking for a concise,
expert analysis of automotive materials.
