"Joining Technologies" ed. by Mahadzir Ishak

This book covers a wide range of topics, from arc welding (GMAW and GTAW), FSW, laser and hybrid welding, and magnetic pulse welding on metal joining to the application of joining technologies for textile products.

Joining and welding are two of the most important processes in manufacturing.
These technologies have vastly improved and are now extensively used in numerous industries.
The analysis of temperature and phase transformation is also incorporated. This book also discusses the issue of dissimilar joint between metal and ceramic, as well as the technology of diffusion bonding.
