Hybrid laser-arc welding (HLAW) is a combination of laser welding with arc welding. It overcomes some of the shortfalls of both processes. Hybrid laser-arc welding combines deep weld penetration of laser welding with good gap tolerance of gas metal arc welding (GMAW). HLAW can also enhance the metallurgical stability of a finished component, giving welds that are stronger and less brittle. This important book provides a comprehensive account of hybrid laser-arc welding including technological aspects, hybrid welding of metals, applications and future trends.
Key Features: reviews arc and laser welding including both advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid laser-arc approach; explores the characteristics of the process including the properties of joints produced by hybrid laser-arc welding and ways of assessing weld quality; examines applications of the process including magnesium alloys, aluminium and steel with specific focus on applications in the shipbuilding and automotive industries.
Contents: Part 1 Characteristics of hybrid laser-arc welding: Advantages and disadvantages of arc and laser welding; Fundamentals of hybrid laser-arc welding; Heat sources of hybrid laser-arc welding processes; Effect of shielding gas on hybrid laser-arc welding; Properties of joints produced by hybrid laser-arc welding; Quality control and assessing weld quality in hybrid laser-arc welding. Part 2 Applications of hybrid laser-arc welding: Hybrid welding of magnesium alloys; Shipbuilding applications of hybrid laser-arc welding; Industrial robotic application of laser-GMAW and laser-Tandem hybrid welding; Hybrid laser-arc welding of aluminium; Hybrid laser-arc welding of dissimilar metals. Part 3 Hybrid laser-arc welding of steel: Hybrid laser-arc welding of steel.

Tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility are important properties of nanostructured metallic materials, which make them suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Nanostructured metals and alloys reviews the latest technologies used for production of these materials, as well as recent advances in research into their structure and mechanical properties.
One of the most important issues facing nanostructured metals and alloys is how to produce them. Part 1 describes the different methods used to process bulk nanostructured metals and alloys, including chapters on severe plastic deformation, mechanical alloying and electrodeposition among others. Part 2 concentrates on the microstructure and properties of nanostructured metals, with chapters studying deformation structures such as twins, microstructure of ferrous alloys by equal channel angular processing, and characteristic structures of nanostructured metals prepared by plastic deformation. In part 3, the mechanical properties of nanostructured metals and alloys are discussed, with chapters on such topics as strengthening mechanisms, nanostructured metals based on molecular dynamics computer simulations, and surface deformation. Part 4 focuses on existing and developing applications of nanostructured metals and alloys, covering topics such as nanostructured steel for automotives, steel sheet and nanostructured coatings by spraying.

This video explains how to properly build a concrete slab from start to finish! See the entire process step-by-step, from grading the site to polishing the perfect concrete slab. Slab-on-grade construction is popular in strawbale and frame house construction, and for numerous projects such as garages, guest cottages, outdoor patios, additions, workshops, and studios. This video includes up-to-date information to build your own concrete slab foundation to code. General contractor Andrew Morrison walks you through each stage of the concrete foundation building process.
This video includes:
Details on four different types of foundations.
Proper site evaluation.
How to build around existing structures.
How to level the site.
Compacting a gravel base.
Building, setting, and squaring concrete forms.
Insulation placement options.
How to bring electrical and plumb
ing lines into the slab.
Pouring, leveling, and polishing concrete.

This 2nd edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals.Following from the success of the first edition, written by a collection of eminent figures in the field, this new edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals. Taking into account the rapid decrease in throughput due to containerization and the subsequent conversion of cargo berths for other uses, such as multi-purpose and container terminals, this book looks at data regarding natural conditions for site selection, choice of location and orientation of major port components – such as access channels, basins quays and specialized berths. This new edition also looks in detail at breakwater design and the use of model tests, channel design and proposed methods for determining sedimentation rates in channels, and ways to optimize channel depth. This book will be an invaluable resource for practicing engineers and planners, port administrators and operators, as well as graduate engineers specializing in the field. Contents include: A hybrid approach – including a simulation program on determining container terminal facilities; A detailed analysis of the important shipping categories of world fleets, which have been specifically acquired from Lloyds Register; High-speed ferry terminals; Dredging and disposal of contaminated sediment; Marpol; and Environmental consideration.

This Handbook provides a complete clause-by-clause guide to the Code and is essential reading for anyone wishing to exploit the cost benefits achieved through the use of masonry both reinforced and prestressed, and includes numerous worked examples, and a model specification. Design charts and interaction curves are included to aid the designer, together with an extensive bibliography. Guidance is given on design procedures for enhancing the lateral load resistance of otherwise unreinforced masonry panels by the incorporation of bed joint reinforcement.
