The welding of tubes is an essential requirement in the fabrication of components in many industries. The original idea for this book came from a seminar organized by The Welding Institute which attracted over 100 specialists concerned with design, fabrication, production and quality assurance and yielded a number of valuable papers. "Process Pipe and Tube Welding" contains some of these papers together with additional chapters to provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of tube welding from initial design considerations through production to final inspection. In the first three chapters the authors outline the process and equipment options available for both manual and mechanized welding. This is essential for design and production planning when faced with the choice of competing processes such as MMA, MIG, TIG or plasma, helping engineers make the right choice for particular applications and ensuring the most cost effective welding techniques are employed. Five further chapters are devoted to the application of tube welding in the aero-engine, ship building, power generation, petrochemical and chemical plant industries with numerous details on processes, materials, techniques and equipment. The welding parameters and production data provided by the authors are a valuable source of information and will help engineers to overcome problems in production.This title includes Process options and manual techniques for welding pipework fabrications; Mechanised arc welding process options for pipework fabrications; Process techniques and equipment for mechanised TIG welding of tubes; Welding pipes for aero-engines; TIG welding pipework for ships; Automatic tube welding in boiler fabrication; TIG and MIG welding developments for fabrication of plant for the chemical, petrochemical, and offshore oil and gas industries; Fabrication of aluminium process pipework; A fabrication system for site mechanical construction; Qualification of welding procedures for the chemical process industry; Non-destructive examination of welds in small diameter pipes.

Ferrous materials have made a major contribution to the development of modern technology; they span a tremendous range of properties and applications. Reflecting the industrial practices, the information provided here offers easy access to reliable processes involved in the manufacturing of Steel products like Steel Bars, Wires, Tubes, Pipes, Sheets etc that proves to be the backbone of construction and automobile industries booming worldwide. The work closes the gap in the treatment of steel and cast iron. Each chapter takes into account the gradual transitions between the two types of ferrous materials. It demonstrates that ferrous metal and steel are versatile and customizable materials which will continue to play a key role in the future and also covers the operations performed on ferrous metals for converting them into a commodity. The book provides a full characterization of steel, including structure, chemical composition, classifications, physical properties, production practices of different steel products, processing of ferrous metals and so on. It will prove to be a layman’s guide for the entrepreneurs who are willing to invest in the ventures related to Iron and Steel Industries, as it contains information related to processing of ferrous metals and production practices followed in Steel products manufacturing units. The text discusses the importance and objectives of processes and material used for the production of disposable products. Many examples have been provided to illustrate the concepts discussed. The topics covered in the book are: Casting of Ferrous Metals, Heat Treatment of Ferrous Metals, Stamping Process of Ferrous Metals, Forming Process of Ferrous Metals, Machining Process of Ferrous Metals, Joining Process of Ferrous Metals, Production of Stainless Steel Wire, Production and Fabrication of Steel Bars, Steel Tube & Pipe, Stainless Steel Sheet and Different Grades of Stainless Steel.
