Welding Steels Without Hydrogen Cracking
Welding Steels Without Hydrogen Cracking
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing | Pages: 160 | Date: 1993-05 | ISBN: 1855730146 | PDF | 7 MB
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.
