STEELS AND ALLOYS
Selection of articles, published in «The Paton Welding Journal» in 2005-2010.
The E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, Kiev, 2011.- 120 pp. Soft cover, 200х290 mm.
Collection includes 24 articles, published in «The Paton Welding Journal» in the period of 2005-2010, on the problems of flash-butt welding and other methods of pressure welding. Chapters of the Collection are devoted to the development of technology and equipment for flash-butt welding of rails, steel pipes, reinforcement bars and rolled metal of high-strength aluminium. The technologies of magnetically-impelled arc welding and friction welding are also described. The authors of articles are scientists and specialists, known both in Ukraine and abroad in the field of pressure welding. It is intended for scientists, engineers, technicians, designers and post-graduates, dealing with the problems of pressure welding of steels, aluminium and titanium alloys, intermetallics and other materials.
