Outokumpu Publishes Handbook on Welding Stainless Steel

The first edition of the Outokumpu Welding Handbook has been published. The Group expects the handbook to be a useful tool for welders, engineers, metallurgists, designers, and other specialists when looking for information regarding welding of stainless steel.
 
Through this handbook, Outokumpu would like to contribute to existing knowledge and offer hands-on advice on welding methods and processes, together with design in which stainless steel is the base. The book also describes appropriate filler material and post-weld treatments, and provides information about the impact of welding on the overall properties of the construction.
 
Björn Holmberg from Outokumpu's Avesta Research Center said: "Our ambition is to provide a comprehensive picture of all welding-related areas. The handbook avoids the most in-depth and complex levels of detail in favor of a broader description of several relevant aspects. We hope to provide answers to fundamental questions about the welding of our stainless steel—whether the reader is an architect, designer, welder or inspector—as the interest of all involved parties is to produce and deliver a good fit for purpose construction."
 
The Outokumpu Welding Handbook can be obtained from Outokumpu Sales Offices.
