Advancements in Intelligent Gas Metal Arc Welding Systems: Fundamentals and Applications presents the latest on gas metal arc welding which plays a significant role in modern manufacturing industries and accounts for about 70% of welding processes. The importance of advancements in GMAW cannot be underestimated as they can lead to more efficient production strategies, resource savings and quality improvements. This book provides an overview of various aspects associated with GMAW, starting from the theoretical basis and ending with characteristics of industrial applications and control methods. Additional sections cover processes associated with welding and welding control, such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, and others.Provides an up-to-date overview of recent GMAW developmentsIncludes insights into intelligent welding automationDescribes real-world, industrial cases of welding automation implementation

An overview of the techniques available for the joining and repair of offshore structures. The author begins with joining systems that do not require welding, and then explores the associated engineering systems needed for joining procedures.

The book describes the results of over 20 years research completed this year at one of the world's premier consumable manufacturers and aimed at improving the properties of MMA electrodes for high quality applications.

This book introduces the range of advanced welding techniques currently in use. It covers gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), high energy density processes such as laser welding, and narrow gap welding methods.

This book is the first to provide fabricators with a comprehensive and unvarnished account of what tubular wires can do and how they do it. Based on the author's fifteen years' experience of developing and applying tubular wires, it brings together information not previously available in one place, some of which has never been published.

A comprehensive guide to avoiding hydrogen cracking which serves as an essential problem-solver for anyone involved in the welding of ferritic steels. The authors provide a lucid and thorough explanation of the theoretical background to the subject but the main emphasis throughout is firmly on practice.

The book includes descriptions of 28 joining processes in which the principal method of use, advantages and limitations, application and factors affecting costs are explained. The book is well illustrated and contains much useful advice invaluable to practising engineers and designers having no previous knowledge of joining.

Wrtten by a leading expert in the field, the first edition established itself as a standard introduction to the range of available welding technologies.
