That is the real difficulty facing welding engineers, materials engineers, inspectors, and fabrication specialists today. Modern work rarely stays inside one alloy family, yet the reference material available tends to split each alloy family into its own separate, specialized volume, forcing the reader to assemble a shelf rather than open a book. Add in newer concerns, such as advanced high-strength automotive steels that fail in ways older texts never anticipated and metal additive manufacturing processes that are really welding metallurgy by another name, and the gap between what is available and what the job requires only grows.
This book closes that gap. Organized in four parts, foundations, cracking mechanisms, alloy families, and modern practice, it gathers the metallurgy of weld cracking, the assessment tools used to predict it, and the alloy-by-alloy guidance needed to prevent it into one structured resource, rebuilding the underlying metallurgical foundation from first principles so that no separate background course is assumed.
Inside, you'll learn to:
- Understand why a weld cracks, using a single, repeatable framework that applies to every mechanism in the book.
- Calculate heat input, cooling time, hardenability, and preheat requirements from the governing physics, then apply those calculations to real procedure decisions.
- Recognize and distinguish each major cracking mechanism, including hydrogen-assisted, solidification, liquation, reheat, ductility-dip, and strain-age cracking, along with lamellar tearing and liquid-metal embrittlement, by where and when each one appears.
- Apply alloy-specific weldability guidance across carbon and low-alloy steels, the stainless steel families, nickel-base alloys, aluminum, titanium, copper, and magnesium, plus dissimilar-metal and multi-material joints.
- Interpret hardness surveys, hot-ductility data, and other weldability test results in real procedure-qualification decisions.
- Work through chapter-by-chapter practice problems with worked answer keys, supported by a glossary, list of symbols, and formula appendices.
- Carry the same reasoning forward into metal additive manufacturing, where rapid solidification and repeated thermal cycles raise many of the same questions in a new form.
Begin building a clearer, more complete understanding of why welds crack and how to stop them, mechanism by mechanism and alloy by alloy, with a single reference built for exactly that purpose.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
