Summary
Summary
Corrosion failures of industrial components are commonly associated with welding. The reasons are many and varied. For example, welding may reduce the resistance to corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking by altering composition and microstructure, modifying mechanical properties, introducing residual stress, and creating physical defects.
This book details the many forms of weld corrosion and the methods used to minimize weld corrosion. Chapters on specific alloys groups-carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, high-nickel alloys, and nonferrous alloys-describe both general welding characteristics and the metallurgical factors that influence corrosion behavior. Corrosion problems associated with dissimilar metal weldments are also examined. Case histories document corrosion problems unique to specific industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, pulp and paper, and electric power. Special challenges caused by high-temperature environments are discussed. Commonly used methods to monitor weld corrosion and test methods for evaluation of intergranular, pitting, crevice, stress-corrosion cracking, and other forms of corrosion are also reviewed.

Choice Review
This book is devoted entirely to the highly specialized topic of weld corrosion. Davis is listed as editor, not author, but there is no acknowledgment of any other contributors to the book. There are 11 chapters: "Basic Understanding of Weld Corrosion," "Corrosion of Carbon Steel and Low-Alloy Steel Weldments," "Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steel Weldments," "Corrosion of Ferritic Stainless Steel Weldments," "Corrosion of Duplex Stainless Steel Weldments," "Corrosion of Martensitic Stainless Steel Weldments," "Corrosion of High-Nickel Alloy Weldments," "Corrosion of Nonferrous Alloy Weldments," "Corrosion of Dissimilar Metal Weldments," "Weld Corrosion in Specific Industries and Environments," and "Monitoring and Testing of Weld Corrosion." Numerous figures, charts, graphs, tables, and photographs are incorporated into the text, and an extensive list of references is found at the end of each chapter. The discussions are highly specific and detailed, and largely of a qualitative nature. A valuable resource work for practitioners concerned directly with this highly specialized subject.
