Joining metals is a fundamental process used in all aspects of modern life. It is vital wherever metals are used, which is just about everywhere. Small or large, simple or complex no mode of transport or method of construction would be possible without the sound understanding of its theory and practice. Written for the home metalworker or model engineer, this book discusses the various methods of joining metals, including strength, testing and applications, and includes useful lessons from historical failures including the sinking of the Titanic, the Flixborough explosion, the capsize of the Alexander L. Keilland offshore platform, the Hyatt Hotel elevated walkway collapse and the Markham Colliery lift bolt failure. With over 100 diagrams and over 200 photographs, this book examines: Mechanical joining: bolting, riveting, clamping – Metallurgical joining: welding, brazing, soldering – Chemical joining: bonding difficult metals – Strength of joints: choice and analysis – Failure of metals and joints: stress, fatigue, corrosion – Design: use of theory and codes to avoid failure, and finally – Testing of metals and joints: destructive and non-destructive (NDT). AUTHOR: Henry Tindell has had a career of over 35 years as a Chartered Engineer. He gained a double first in Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manchester, followed by an M.Sc for work on metal-matrix composites for orthopaedic surgery. Now semi-retired, he works as a consultant and home workshop-based engineer. This is his third book for Crowood. 217 colour illustrations, 117 diagrams
