4. 9002 - Welding of stainless steels and other joining methods
Presents information to help design engineers better understand the welding characteristics of stainless steels. Contains 31 tables and 40 figures on the metallurgical characteristics of stainless steels and the changes that can take place during welding, different welding and joining methods, joint designs, weld filler-metal selection, elements that affect welding, and the welding processes normally used with stainless steels. Also discusses pipe welding, weld overlays, welding clad plate, welding dissimilar metals, and post-weld cleaning and finishing.

5. 10004 - Fabrication and post-fabrication cleanup of stainless steels
By Arthur H. Tuthill, reprinted from Chemical Engineering, Sep 29, 1986. The surface condition of stainless steels is critical where the product must not be contaminated; pharmaceutical, food and nuclear plants and where the stainless must resist an aggressive environment. Embedded iron, grease and heat tint can initiate corrosion unless properly removed or, in some cases, prevented. Provides a guide to solving the problem.

6. 11007 - Guidelines for the welded fabrication of nickel-containing stainless steels for corrosion-resistant services
By R. E. Avery and A.H. Tuthill, 1992. Widely specified for applications where corrosion resistance is required, stainless steels are an excellent choice for chemical, dairy, food, architectural, biotechnology equipment and similar services. This publication is presented in three sections: "For the welder," deals with the differences in welding techniques for nickel-containing stainless steels, versus conventional carbon steels; "For the materials engineer," describes various types of stainless steels and how their metallurgical and corrosion resistant characteristics are affected by welding and heat treating; and, "For the design engineer," which demonstrates how the corrosion performance of stainless steels can be enhanced by good design.

7. 14018 - Guidelines for welding dissimilar metals
By Richard E. Avery, reprinted from Chemical Engineering Progress, May 1991. Nickel-containing stainless steels and nickel- and copper-base alloys are readily fusion welded to carbon and low-alloy steel and to each other. Methods are described to estimate the weld metal composition of dissimilar-metal welds. Knowing the composition, weld properties can be predicted for a wide range of dissimilar-metal welds.
