Joining metals is a fundamental process that plays a crucial role in various aspects of modern life. It is essential wherever metals are utilized, which is practically everywhere. Whether it's small-scale or large-scale, simple or complex, the understanding and application of metal joining theory and practice are indispensable. This book, written specifically for home metalworkers and model engineers, delves into the diverse methods of metal joining, encompassing strength, testing, and applications. It also includes valuable lessons learned from historical failures, such as the sinking of the Titanic, the Flixborough explosion, the capsize of the Alexander L. Keilland offshore platform, the Hyatt Hotel elevated walkway collapse, and the Markham Colliery lift bolt failure.
The book is packed with over 100 diagrams and over 200 photographs, providing a comprehensive visual representation of the topics discussed. It explores mechanical joining techniques such as bolting, riveting, and clamping, as well as metallurgical joining methods such as welding, brazing, and soldering. Additionally, it covers chemical joining methods, including bonding difficult metals, and emphasizes the strength of joints through choice and analysis.
The book also delves into the failure of metals and joints, discussing factors such as stress, fatigue, and corrosion. It explores the design considerations to avoid failure and the use of theory and codes to ensure structural integrity. Furthermore, it covers testing methods for metals and joints, including destructive and non-destructive (NDT) techniques.
By providing a comprehensive and detailed exploration of metal joining, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone involved in the field. Whether you are a hobbyist, a professional, or a student, this book will help you enhance your understanding and skills in metal joining, enabling you to create strong and durable structures and components.
