Summary

Summary

The book describes the results of over 20 years research completed this year at one of the world's premier consumable manufacturers and aimed at improving the properties of MMA electrodes for high quality applications. It examines the influence of some 17 elements and welding variables on the composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the resulting weld metal. The often complex relationships discovered are sufficient to give a good understanding of the properties of weld metals produced by other arc welding processes.

Choice Review

Evans and Bailey show "how compositional variations influence the mechanical properties of basic mild steel weld metals with less than 5 percent alloying elements." Their book is the result of 20 years of research into the effects of trace impurities in shielded metal arc welding. The focus is completely on the weld metal and not on the strength of the resulting joint. Coverage includes weld metals containing carbon-manganese, manganese-chromium, manganese-molybdenum, manganese-nickel, copper, manganese-vanadium, aluminum, manganese-niobium, boron, and the effect of titanium, oxygen, and nitrogen on these additives. Many tables and charts are included, showing the change in physical properties as the alloy content, interpass temperature, and postweld heat treatment are changed. Photographs of the resulting microstructures are also given. A good supplement to Weldability of Ferritic Steels, by Norman Bailey (CH, Apr'95), or the old classic Welding Metallurgy (3rd ed., 1965), by George E. Linnert.
