Springer - Cracking Phenomena in Welds IV: 4 Compendium

Cracking Phenomena in Welds IV: 4 is the fourth volume in a well-established series of compendiums focused on the subject of weld hot cracking. Published by Springer, this collection features the papers presented at the 4th International Cracking Workshop held in Berlin in April 2014. This technical resource covers a broad spectrum of cracking phenomena. While the term cracking refers to hot cracking in the classical sense, this volume also addresses cold cracking, stress-corrosion cracking, and elevated temperature solid-state cracking. It serves as a comprehensive guide for professionals and researchers needing to understand the complexities of weld integrity. The content provides deep insights into various technical subjects essential for engineering and metallurgy. Readers can find detailed information regarding test standards, crack prediction methods, and weldability determination. The volume also explores practical applications such as crack mitigation, stress states, and numerical modeling. This book is a valuable addition to any library focused on civil engineering, mechanics, and welding technology.
