Physical Chemistry of Fusion Welding

Fusion welding is the main technological process applied in the production of weldments. Depending on the kind of applied heat source, the following fusion welding processes are distinguished: electric arc, electron beam, laser beam, electroslag, light beam, and gas welding. However, irrespective of the applied welding procedure, the main goal of any process is producing a sound welded joint. This is only possible with a sufficiently comprehensive allowance for the physicochemical processes. Presenting the latest research on the topic, Physical Chemistry of Fusion Welding is a cutting-edge and comprehensive book. The book contains modern representations of physicochemical processes that occur on the borders of contacting phases. Physical Chemistry of Fusion Welding presents this knowledge in a thorough and accessible manner, making it the ideal text for practical and scientific specialists in the fields of welding and metallurgy.

German Deyev earned a B.S. degree in civil engineering from Cheljabinsk State Polytechnical Institute (1963), an M.S. degree in engineering of welding technology and production from the Cheljabinsk State Polytechnical Institute (1965), and a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering with specialization in the role of surface properties in welding processes from Cheljabinsk State Polytechnical Institute (1971), and a Doctor of Technical Science with specialization in the role of surface phenomena in formation defects in welding joints from E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute (1987). He served as the chairman of the Department of Welding at the University of Lipetsk from 1976 until 1999. In December 1993 he was appointed dean of the metallurgical faculty of the University of Lipetsk. During his academic career, he received twenty-four awards. He is a member of the American Welding Society. He has to his credit eight books and over 120 publications and articles in professional journals. Dmitriy Deyev earned a B.S. degree in civil engineering in 1994, an M.S. degree in engineering of welding technology and production from Lipetsk State Polytechnical Institute (Lipetsk, Russia, 1995), and a Ph.D. degree in civil engineering from Voronezh State University (Voronezh, Russia, 1998). He served as the leading specialist at the Department of Transportation of the Lipetsk State Government from 1995 until 1999. Dmitriy Deyev has written 2 book and many publications and articles in professional journals.
