· A thorough, comprehensive, and useful book for welders and model engineers about essential soldering and brazing techniques · Offers a close examination of the soldering and brazing processes, equipment, and materials and explains what happens in the joints as they are made · Features detailed sections on a range of techniques and insight to accomplish soldering and brazing in faster, more efficient, and less expensive ways · Includes practical examples, test pieces, tabulated data, and more throughout · Tubal Cain, the pen name of engineer and craftsman Tom Walshaw, was the writer of many best-selling home workshop and model engineering guides

Annotation. This second edition of a text on brazing includes revised material on tooling, design, materials, atmospheres, processing, and equipment. Several new topics are covered, including nanostructures and materials, microwave and laser brazing, more effective use of vacuum atmospheres, functionally gradient materials, and intermetallics. There is also more coverage of beryllium alloys, aluminum-lithium alloys, new titanium alloys, ceramic-to-metal brazing, composites, and ceramic-to-ceramic brazing. Case histories and problem-solving examples are included. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Welding processes handbookis an introductory guide to all of the main welding processes. It is specifically designed for students on EWF courses and newcomers to welding and is suitable as a textbook for European welding courses in accordance with guidelines from the European Welding Federation. Welding processes and equipment necessary for each process are described so that they can be applied to all instruction levels required by the EWF and the important areas of welded joint design, quality assurance and costing are also covered in detail.

These volumes cover the properties, processing, and applications of metals and nonmetallic engineering materials. They are designed to provide the authoritative information and data necessary for the appropriate selection of materials to meet critical design and performance criteria.

Soldering, Brazing & Welding is an ideal manual for anyone requiring comprehensive advice and instruction in these common forms of metalwork. Their applications are now increasingly widespread in the craft of metalwork, as well as more traditionally in light industry. Topics covered include procedure for making a soldering joint; selecting consumables and heat source for silver soldering; typical braze welding techniques and applications; oxy-acetylene equipment, setting up, and fusion welding; and MIG, TIG, and manual metal arc welding.
