Outokumpu publishes a handbook on welding stainless steel
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PRESS RELEASE
August 30, 2010 at 10.15 EET
Today, the first edition of the Outokumpu Welding Handbook is published. The
Group's ambition is that the handbook will be a useful tool for welders,
engineers, metallurgists, designers and other specialists when looking for
information regarding welding of stainless steel.
Welding is the most important process for joining stainless steel. Through this
handbook, Outokumpu wants to contribute to existing knowledge and offer hands-on
advice on welding methods and processes together with design in which stainless
steel is the base. The book also describes appropriate filler material and
post-weld treatments, as well as provides information about the impact of
welding on the overall properties of the construction.
Björn Holmberg from Outokumpu's Avesta Research Centre says: "Our ambition is to
provide a comprehensive picture of all welding-related areas. The handbook
avoids the most in-depth and complex levels of detail in favour of a broader
description of several relevant aspects. We hope to provide answers to
fundamental questions about the welding of our stainless steel - whether the
reader is an architect, designer, welder or inspector - as the interest of all
involved parties is to produce and deliver a good fit for purpose construction."
The Outokumpu Welding Handbook can be obtained from local Outokumpu Sales
Offices.
