10.9 WELDABILITY OF STEELS<br />

There are entire books devoted to the weldability of metals and alloys.<br />

Weldability is a complicated property that does not have a universally<br />

accepted definition. The term is widely interpreted by individual experience.<br />

The American <strong>Welding</strong> Society defines weldability as “the capacity of a metal<br />

to be welded under the fabrication conditions imposed, into a specific,<br />

suitably designed structure, and to perform satisfactorily in the intended<br />

service.”
