AWS C4.4/C4.4M, 2nd Edition, 2007 - Recommended Practices for Heat Shaping and Straightening with Oxyfuel Gas Heating Torches
This publication describes some causes of distortion and corrective actions through the use of heat. It also describes some heat shaping techniques and the direction of movement expected in the heated metal. Equations are provided to aid in estimating the amount of movement for a given heating technique. The methods discussed are specifically applicable to ferrous metals, but many of the methods can be applied to nonferrous metals as well. For a more comprehensive description of specific applications, see the attached supplementary reading list.
Heat has been used to shape and straighten structural elements in bridges, buildings and marine constructions for over a hundred years. Since the late 1930s, the use of oxyfuel gas torches to do this work has become more and more prevalent. This publication is a recommended practice for using the torch process for work on bridges and buildings, and to some extent shipbuilding.
Mechanical forces in fabrication and erection, forces occurring in service, accidental impacts from external forces, fire, and explosion, all cause stress in a structural member or a part of a member. If that stress exceeds the elastic limit of the material, distortion will occur, and the member will not conform to its desired shape. Heat shaping and straightening is an economical method to produce the desired movement to bring the member into conformance.
The shipbuilding industry throughout the world has taken heat shaping to new heights in shaping technology. Particularly, the use of line heating to shape complex curves in hull structures has become an integral part of a group technology in shipbuilding which also includes product work packages and accuracy control.
Basically, straightening and shaping involves controlled thermal expansion and contraction of a structural element. The method, location, and shape of the heat application are covered briefly in this publication. This recommended practice is limited to fundamentals and simple applications. (See Annex A for additional information.)

AWS C4.3/C4.3M, 4th Edition, 2018 - Recommended Practices for Oxyfuel Gas Heating Torch Operation
This manual describes the equipment, procedures, and safe practices for oxyfuel gas heating torch operation. It is written for the operators of torches using single or multiple heating tips and heads. It is also recommended for management personnel associated with the oxyfuel gas heating torch operation and process.
Oxyfuel heating is an operation whereby various metals are heated in order to perform the following operations:
(1) Straightening and bending with mechanical force
(2) Flame straightening and cambering
(3) Stress relieving
(4) Preweld and postweld heating
(5) Fusion of coatings
(6) Flame hardening
(7) Flame shrinking
The metal is heated by the direct application of single- or multi-flames to a desired elevated temperature. The heating process may be applied to all types of metal forms or shapes. An operator can make proper compensation for the effect of the metallurgical conditions, part geometry, and physical changes that may occur during the heating process.
In general, torch heating does not require any lengthy startup. Operations can be performed in most locations, in confined areas, under most conditions, and with relatively low-cost equipment. Torch heating can also be performed on completed structures without dismantling them. Although this recommended practice is not written with mandatory requirements, mandatory language, such as the use of “shall,” will be found in those portions of the document where failure to follow the instructions or procedures could produce inferior, misleading, or unsafe results.

AWS C4.2/C4.2M, 3rd Edition, 2017 - Recommended Practices for Oxyfuel Gas Cutting Torch Operation
This standard describes the equipment, procedures, and safe practices for the oxyfuel cutting of steel. It is for the operators of both hand and machine torches and is recommended for management personnel associated with the oxyfuel cutting process.
Oxyfuel gas cutting is a process whereby a metal (usually an iron base alloy) is heated to its kindling temperature (well below the melting point) by an oxyfuel gas flame and then burned rapidly by a regulated jet of oxygen. A cutting torch is used for this operation. Although this recommended practice is not written with mandatory requirements, mandatory language, such as the use of “shall,” will be found in those portions of the document where failure to follow the instructions or procedures could produce inferior, misleading, or unsafe results.

AWS SHB: Soldering Handbook (3rd Edition)
| Size: 12.23 MB| Format:PDF| Quality:Scanner| Publisher: American Welding Society, Inc. (AWS) | Year: 3rd Edition, 2000| pages: 178
AWS SHB, 3rd Edition, 2000 - Soldering Handbook
Preface
The perception of soldering as a mature technology has been replaced over the past several years with an increased appreciation for the science and engineering principles that underlie the successful implementation of this joining technique. Recent efforts to understand soldering technology have come about largely on the heels of the electronics revolution, since soldering remains as the primary assembly technique for electronic component packaging and printed circuit board products. However, the narrow spotlight on electronics applications has expanded as technologists consider soldering processes for a wider range of structural applications.
At present, several excellent textbooks are available on the topic of soldering. However, those references have targeted primarily electronics applications. It became apparent to the American Welding Society and, in particular, the AWS C3 Committee on Brazing and Soldering, that there is a growing need for a more generalized resource on soldering technology. It was also recognized that such a text should be written so as to be readily understood by individuals having a wide range of backgrounds; from the field assemblers and furnace operators to the engineering staff and technical managers. The opportunity to create such a text coincided with plans to revise the AWS Soldering Manual. The result of this effort is the Soldering Handbook.
The Soldering Handbook is constructed with the following eight general topics:
1. Fundamentals of Soldering Technology; 2. Solder Materials; 3. Substrate Materials; 4. Fluxes; 5. Solder Pastes; 6. Assembly Processes; 7. Inspection Techniques for Product Acceptance and Process Optimization; and 8. Environmental, Safety, and Health. Thorough discussions are provided in each of the major topical areas, including important principles on materials and processing as well as handy access to tabulated properties data. The text is formatted to serve as a reference book; therefore, some information is duplicated in order to assure a clarity of discussion within each section. The handbook also provides a substantial reference section at the end of the text which lists sources of information for those individuals wishing additional details on specific topics.
It is the author’s goal that the information provided in this handbook will allow soldering technology to be more fully utilized in advanced structural joining applications, as well as to enhance its continued use as a critical assembly technology for the electronics industry.
