FEATURES

What it Takes to Be AWS Certified
The requirements for and benefits of obtaining AWS certifications are outlined
R. Wiswesser et al.

BRAZING & SOLDERING TODAY

Amorphous Filler Metals Offer Great Potential for Joining Magnesium Alloys
Filler metals based on Zn-Mg-Al possess metallurgical properties that make them good candidates for brazing magnesium-based alloys
S. Muecklich et al.

Joining of High-Strength Aluminum-Based Materials with Tin-Based Solders
Their low melting point makes tin-based solders well suited for soldering aluminum matrix composite materials
S. Weis et al.

A Look at the Development of Magnesium-Based Filler Metals
Lap joints in magnesium-based alloys were produced and tested using an assortment of ternary alloys as filler metals with a range of fluxes
K. Bobzin et al.

Advantages of Flux Cored Alloys for Open Air Brazing
Flux cored alloys reduce brazing process times and safety environmental concerns while improving braze joint quality and strength

WELDING RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS

High-Strength Steel Welding with Consumable Double-Electrode Gas Metal Arc Welding
The heat-affected zone characteristics in welds produced with double-electrode GMAW wer examined and compared to conventional GMAWK. H. Li et al.

Characterization of High-Strength Stel Weld Metals: Chemical Composition, Microstructrue, and Nonmetallic Inclusions
To get a better understanding of chemistry- and microstructure-property relationships in high-strength steel weld metals, their general compositional and microstructrual characteristics were studied
J. E. Ramirez

Characterization Procedure for the Analyss of Arc Welding Fume
A procedure was developed to characterize welding fume generated from arc welding proesses that included measurement of fume generation rate, fume particle size, and mass distribution
J. W. Sowards et al.
