Book Description

Ultrasonics is a multidisciplinary subject with applications in many of the basic sciences. Most of the existing texts on this subject are very specialized and often too advanced to be of use to those not in that exact specialty. Accessible to a wide readership, Fundamentals and Applications of Ultrasonic Waves provides a treatment that is rigorous yet not overly specialized. It presents clear exposition on the physics of acoustic waves, their propagation, transmission and reflection, and the different modes that can be excited in various geometries. The author examines the engineering aspects of those geometries and explores the sundry methods of generation and detection.

Welding of Aluminum and its Alloys

·                     Hardcover: 236 pages

·                     Publisher: CRC (October 16, 2002)

·                     Language: English

·                     ISBN-10: 0849315514

·                     ISBN-13: 978-0849315510

Book Description

This is a practical user's guide to all aspects of welding aluminium and aluminium alloys. Ideal for engineers who may have little prior understanding of metallurgy and only a brief acquaintance with the welding processes involved, it also provides a basic understanding of the metallurgical principles involved, showing how alloys achieve their strength and how the process of welding can affect these properties.. The author describes the more frequently encountered processes and presents recommendations on welding parameters for use as a starting point for developing a viable welding procedure. He also includes tips for avoiding some of the pitfalls of welding these sometimes-problematic materials.

Book Description
Composition and Properties of Drilling and Completion Fluids, Fifth Edition, covers the fundamental principles of geology, chemistry, and physics that provide the scientific basis for drilling fluids technology.

New material for drilling, logging, and production supervisors and engineers exlains how the choice of a drilling fluid and proper maintenance can profoundly reduce total well costs. It also defines technical terms necessary to the understanding of instructions and information provided by the mud engineer. Updated chapters discuss evaluation of drilling fluid performance, clay mineralogy and colloid chemistry, rheology, filtration properties, hole stability, drilling problems, and completion fluids.

Book Description
"It's about time that a practicing engineer with casting and academic experience has written a book that provides answers to questions about squeeze casting and semi-solid molding/forming that many engineers and students of casting need answered."
—Joseph C. Benedyk, PhD, Consultant and retired technical director, Alcoa

High Integrity Die Casting Processes provides a comprehensive look at the concepts behind advanced die casting technologies, including vacuum die casting, squeeze casting, and several variants of semi-solid metalworking. Practical applications for these processes are illustrated in numerous case studies.

This single-source reference tool presents the latest material in five sections:

· Basic concepts of die casting and molten metal flow

· High integrity die casting processes with case studies

· Product design considerations

· Controlling quality and avoiding defects

· Future advances under development
