Admanfrd Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello guys, mandatory science fair coming up and i've got a project in mind. I want to talk about the electron sharing and fusion of iron and steel at high temperatures. Does anyone have a good source of info on the specifics of forge welding? I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Ian Fergusson covered inter atomic bonding quite well in his book on Mokume Gane. I have a short write up on my web page, but I suggest you review ABS MS Kevin Cashen, he has a very nice article on his web site also.

basher Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I would recomend .The solid phase welding of metals by Tylecote.You will have to order it from a library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Second "The Solid Phase Welding of Metals" Tylecote; my copy was borrowed by a metallurgy student once who was needing to know details. Note this will not be a glance through the night before book; you will need to put some work in reading it and taking notes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'll second Fergusson, he's got a pretty good section on the bonding process in there. I don't recall if Midgett discussed it in greater detail or not (so probably not) but I will try to remember to check when I get home. Now I gotta go look up Tylecote =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The tylecote book is way out of print. If you look for it regularly it comes up second hand, somtimes in a glut and can be cheap then. Their wise its a costly book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Here in America he should be able to ILL (Inner Library Loan)it for as long as he will need for a Science Fair Project. I found one copy on ABEBOOKS.com for about 10 times what mine cost as I recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Used copies do pop on Amazon from time to time, I recently (this year) purchased mine on the big A for $55 US. Just have to keep your eyes open and snap it up quick when you see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 wow, and I thought it was just heat and pressure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Nope you can have solid phase welding at room temperature or even below! Heat, Pressure and "Cleanliness" are the 3 factors; max any of them out and the other two can be quite low---so forge welding, explosive welding and galling and vacuum welding are all examples of solid phase welding with one of the trio maxed. I can't say that Tylecote's book is a fast easy read but it is interesting to a certain type of person wanting to know the details....

divermike Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That is so true, I once came across 2 highly polished flats of some alloy that had self welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admanfrd Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 the book by Tylecote seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I cannot find it anywhere. PDF copies are way expensive as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Have you tried ILL at your local public library yet? I can easily access a book I've had on amazon book search for over a decade now using ILL at a small rural library in NM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admanfrd Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 yeah :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Furrer Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I may have a copy around somewhere. There is a Russian book on solid phase welding as well which has some interesting information. Ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
