Advances in Solid-State Welding and Processing of Metallic Materials

This book covers the essential information needed to understand the latest developments of solid-state welding and processing of metallic materials, including physical metallurgy, production technologies, alloy development, compositing, post-processing, and joining methodologies.

Advances in Solid-State Welding and Processing of Metallic Materials is the result of the collaborative efforts from expert researchers across various institutions around the globe. Harnessing this wealth of expertise and experience, the book enables the reader to comprehend both the theory behind microstructural evolution, as well as the practical elements of welding and processing. It also analyzes strengthening mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and wear mechanisms. Topics discussed in this book include friction stir welding, friction stir processing, modified friction stir clinching, hot-rolling and cold-rolling alongside diffusion bonding, and powder metallurgy processing.

This book is a valuable companion to all students and researchers in metallurgy, materials science and engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production engineering.
