Need to know information on stainless steels fills the pages of this Advisor. While its main focus is the austenitic stainless steels 200 and 300 series, it also covers the ferritics and martensitics 400 series, the precipitationhardening series, and the duplexstainless steels. Contains chapters on Definitions Introduction to Stainless Steels and Types of Stainless Steels Stainless Steel Filler Materials Preweld Cleaning and Preparation Welding and Cutting of Stainless Steels Postweld Cleaning Heat Treatments Weld Discontinuities and Defects Stainless Steels in Welding Codes and Standards Safety and Health Considerations Also includes eight tables on base metal compositions 15 tables on filler metal and electrode compositions 15 tables on welding processes including weld joint designs, transition currents, typical arc voltages, shielding gases, and typical conditions for GMAW, PAW, FCAW, and SAW four tables on heat treatments and five tables on codes and standards including A and FNumber groupings, and prepost heat requirements. Unites important information from numerous AWS standards, including codes, filler metal specifications, and welding process recommended practices the renowned Welding Handbook and other sources. Compilereditor Dr. Richard Campbell brings to this useful guide the clarity and succinctness of his consistently toprated seminars.
