Reflecting the rise of lighter-weight Mg alloys over steel and aluminum, this revised edition examines Mg alloys in depth and highlights the range of progresses made in resistance welding research and practice. Addressing the difficulties of welding the far less robust Mg alloys, this book investigates the prevalence and mechanism of cracking and expulsion, as well as statistical tools for welding research and realworld applications. It offers a solid foundation for solving practical problems in a scientific and systematic manner.
This book provides a compilation of information useful to an aerosol scientist, particularly for use or identification of radioactive aerosols. The second edition includes new data on measurement; dosimetry and health effects of ultrafine, industrial, medical, and pharmaceutical bioaerosols; radioactive aerosols; breathing zone exposure assessments; modeling depositions of inhaled particles; and health effects of aerosols in general. It emphasizes the human response to pollution. Every chapter has been revised to reflect new data.

Tribology of Interface Layers Hooshang Heshmat Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc., Albany, New York, USA
Powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic features that enable them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers, which are detailed in this book. It illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, this text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes. Catalog no.

Nanotechnology Welding Thermal Processes and Weld Pool Behaviors Chuan Song Wu Institute for Materials Joining, Shandong University, China
This book addresses essential advances in welding analysis and processes with an emphasis on the latest modeling and simulation methods. It covers techniques and formulas for assessing welding thermal processes, finite difference and finite analysis methods for calculating thermal conduction, and numerical simulation of weld pool behaviors in metal-inert-gas/metal-active-gas arc welding. It also covers keyhole and weld pool dynamics in plasma arc welding and vision-based sensing of weld pool shape and geometry. It also provides case studies of fluid flow and heat transfer in tungsten-inert-gas arc welding. Catalog no. N10126, ISBN: 978-7-111-21962-0 September 2010, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 445 pp. Suggested Price: $249.95 / £159.00

Resistance Welding
Business Applications and Commercialization Sherron Sparks Penn State University, State College, USA Series: Nano and Energy
Focusing on the transition of new nanomaterial technology to the commercial market, this book presents a nanotech commercialization model that will enable partnership development between research universities, businesses, and venture capitalists. The author argues that it is imperative to direct commercial nano development into legitimate business channels, and to nurture development in a standardized environment instead of suppressing the technology. The text aims to eliminate the commercialization gap between business and technology, providing a structure for industry growth and highlighting new business opportunities for technology applications. Catalog no. K12011, ISBN: 978-1-4398-4521-9 February 2012, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 256 pp. Suggested Price: $89.95 / £57.99 Available in eBook
