New Welding Alloys:Computational Methods

Abstract

Metals are useful materials because of their sophistication and low cost. The many phase transformations and processing variables associated with them can be exploited to achieve a very large range of desirable properties. The very complexity that makes metals so useful also makes their design difficult. This is particularly so for welding alloys which have an additional level of complexity given that the ultimate properties have to be achieved in the as welded condition.
