For courses in Basic Welding and Welding
Technology.
This well-respected, introductory welding text
contains coverage of the latest codes, materials, and processes necessary to
become proficient in an ever more complex industry. The technology of welding is
growing and the book's focus on arc welding processes and the use of steel in
construction reflect those changes-while continuing to provide a
comprehensive coverage of basic principles and theory. 736 pp.
