WELDASEARCH

Weldasearch is a comprehensive database containing abstracts to journal articles, research reports, books, standards, patents, theses and special publications in the areas of joining metals, plastics and ceramics, metal and ceramic spraying, thermal cutting, brazing, soldering and related topics. Every aspect of welding and allied processes is covered including design, metallurgy, fatigue and fracture mechanics, equipment for joining and cutting processes, corrosion, surfacing, micro joining, quality control, nondestructive testing, safety, commercial applications, market statistics and news of the industry.

Sources covered include numerous periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents (to 2002), books, and press releases.

Major areas of coverage include:

• Brazing
• Corrosion
• Fatigue and fracture
• Health and safety
• Inspection
• Metallurgy and materials science
• Nondestructive testing
• Quality control
• Soldering
• Surfacing
• Thermal cutting Thermal spraying
• Welding

Approximately 1967-current. The oldest record in the database has a publication date of 1932; about 50% of its records have publication dates of 1985 or later.

Once a month. Approximately 4,000 new records are added per year.

Over 191,666 records as of February 2007

TWI's library has a world-leading stock of publications which covers all forms of joining, metallic and non-metallic materials, engineering aspects of joining, NDT, corrosion, QA and health & safety.

AB:	Abstract The corrosion behaviour was studied of superduplex steel UNS S 37250 (max.30% C, 25%Cr, 7%Ni, 4%Mo, 0.3%N; thickness 3 mm), on joints welded by both plasma and EB welding methods. Welding conditions are given (filler wire, shielding gas, welding speed, current (arc current; cathode current, beam current), voltage (arc voltage; accelerating voltage)). Free and stress corrosion evaluations of the welds were done in H2SO4 solutions of various concentrations and critical pitting temperatures were determined using FeCl3 solution. Comparisons were made of the results for plasma, EB and laser produced welds, and also of the differing microstructures created.
