This book is chiefly concerned with the conventional fusion welding processes and their problems and will be of value to practical welding engineers, inspectors and metallurgists. The author also has inmind the needs of those concerned with design and specification, recognising the importance of dealing with problems at the design stage.

Weldability formulae -- 2. Potential welding problem areas. Cracking. Welding faults. Inspection for defects. Joint integrity. Problems associated with PWHT. Service problems. Repair. Joining dissimilar steels. Joining dissimilar metals -- 3. Solidification cracking. Role of composition. Solidification cracking and the welding process. Control and avoidance of cracking. Liquation cracking. Copper pick-up. Ductility dip cracking. Detection and identification -- 4. Lamellar tearing. Role of inclusions. Susceptible joint types. Other factors.
