Metallurgy

[guy-finnigan]

Does anyone know of a good website to help me learn/remember things about metallurgy? I'm currently taking my B level welding course in Canada and I'm struggling on the metallurgy test. Thanks in advance.

difficult one:
You might try this one to understand phase diagrams. Don't expect to go through the complete course and understand it all since it is university metallurgy level. I found the graphics helpful.

Make sure you can get 100 percent each time you do each practice test. Make corrections then do the test again. Some of the percentages and definitions are exact. In real life you will have different textbooks give different percentages for carbon in cast irons.
There is a good metalurgy section in Lincoln's Metals and How to Weld Them. It is an old text but the explanations are made easy to understand.
The Lincoln Procedure book also is a good reference.

I will look through the rest of my bookmarks to see if I have any other sites.

Guy,

Check the AWS website or the bookstore at the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology. Both have some good references that are geared toward 'Metallurgy' for the non-metallurgist.

Here's one reference about steel making and metallurgy that I thought was good. HIWT's bookstore has this for sale online.

"Properties and Uses of Ferrous and Nonferrous Metals" by Weiss & Leuchtman.
112 pages. Item No. EW-220 Price: $17.95

when you study metals at a mollecular level to see how atoms rearrange themselves can be tricky ive studied metallurgy for a semester and i loved it

I would check some of the steel suppliers. There are a number of papers published on the basic metallugry of welding stainless alloys. Some of them are posted up at the AWS website. If you go there use the forum search and put in key word stainless. One guy there (SSBN 727) has posted up dozens of links to papers on stainless metallurgy. Look in the technical forum or metallurgy forum. You will find a ton of reading material.

good luck with that.
I did my welder training (C, B & A) at Camosun in Victoria.
I'd suggest picking up module 8 (metallurgy) from the CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau).

That's awesome. I took my C and i'm I just started my B at Camosun. Thanks for all the tips everyone!
