Welding Principles and Applications

About this book

This all-encompassing guide covers all aspects of welding, as progressively guiding them from the absolute basics to AWS Certified Welder Test preparation. Experiments and practices are designed to familiarize the student with a wide range of machine settings, production of quality welds, while minimizing wasted stock and nonskilled work such as grinding and finishing.Based on standards established by the American Welding Society, the student learns to develop industry-acceptable practices for professional application.
