A comprehensive guide to avoiding hydrogen cracking which serves as an essential problem-solver for anyone involved in the welding of ferritic steels. The authors provide a lucid and thorough explanation of the theoretical background to the subject but the main emphasis throughout is firmly on practice.

The Memorial ServiceMany years ago there was an accident in a mine. A lot ofpeople were killed. Including a fourteen year old girl. Butevery generation when a male member reached the sameage, she appeared to them and asked for help.Two previous generations failed to find the answers sheneeded. But was it going to be third time lucky?If Edward went ahead and helped as she wanted, couldhe ever return to his true time?Children in the MistMany years ago a very rich man wanted to help people. Sohe purchased a large amount of land. This he had dividedinto five villages. Very soon he employed all the peopleneeded to run these villages.Mostly as farms, shops, pubs etc. But the people gotgreedier and greedier. They wanted more and more fromhim. After many years of this he had enough. As they wentto get more from him, he decided to meet them and sayenough is enough.They were on their way to see him when they spotteda problem in The Playing field. A boy was hanging from atree. It was the son of the rich owner. He thought they hadkilled him in their anger. He put a curse on those familiesforever.

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.

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.
