This is an excellent text and sourcebook for practicing engineers. While not a handbook, this book contains a lot of useful data, however, its primary value is as text that gives general guidance and explains why the alloys behave as they do. The authors of this book are world leaders in the subject matter, and as expected, they have produced a first-rate book. The book begins with three chapters, which concisely describe the metallurgy of stainless steels, followed by five chapters that discus the welding of the different types of stainless steels (i.e., Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic, Duplex and Precipitation Hardened stainless steels). The final two chapters discuss the welding of dissimilar steels and weldability testing.

For me, this is the best up to date review book on stainless steels and especially about their welding metallurgy and weldability. The metallurgic mechanisms and the effects on weldability are very well explained. A wide range of technical people including students can use and understand the book easily. I have been reading Dr. Kotecki’s Q&A part and Lippold’s articles in Welding Journal for more than ten years, so have gathered some data from these parts of them also made me appreciate them. I guess there couldn’t have been a better book nowadays about weldability of SSs also.
