This book covers various materials used by the fabrication industry for manufacturing of process plant equipment, in-depth review of welding processes widely used in the industry for joining and surfacing. Subsequent sections address the practical aspects in welding Carbon, Cr-Mo steel, Austenitic stainless steel, Duplex and Super Duplex steels, and Aluminium. It also covers various issues generally encountered during welding of these steels, selection of suitable welding consumables and the good practices adapted by fabrication Industries and so forth along with some case studies.

Features:

• Focusses on the practical aspects of arc welding and on the processes.
• Covers recent advances in the field along with addressing the theoretical, practical, and industrial aspects
• Review recent trends of implementing DOE techniques and Meta-heuristics optimization techniques for setting of accurate parameters
• Contain an in-depth review of the selected most important advances of welding process
• Reviews selection of suitable welding consumables and the good practices adapted by fabrication Industries including case studies.
