Available in full-color, the Fifth Edition of Welding Principles and Applications features more tight shots of actual welds to speed beginners to an understanding of a variety of different welding processes used today. Moving quickly from basic concepts to the study of today's most complex welding technologies, each section begins by introducing readers to the materials, equipment, setup procedures, and critical safety information they need to know to successfully execute a specific process.
Remaining chapters in
the section zero in on individual welding tasks and must-know techniques.
Comprehensive coverage spans from specific welding processes to discussion of
related topics, including welding metallurgy, metal fabrication, weld testing
and inspection, joint design, and job costing. Objectives, key terms, review
questions, lab experiments, and practice exercises in every chapter are also
included to focus attention on information and skills required for success as a
professional welder. 944 pp.
Features:
New coverage of metal-cored wires and self-shielding in flux cored arc
welding and updated information on joint design, symbols, and fabrication
reflects the latest trends
All-new "Applied Academics" sections provide opportunities to
develop math, science, communication, and interpersonal skills as they
relate to the welding field.
"Success Stories" profile real-life welders, capturing attention
and motivating readers who may be considering welding as a career choice
Boxed articles at the end of each chapter showcase real-life applications
of the principles presented, maintaining reader interest while bridging the
gap between theory and practice
Lab practices are included in the book to guide users step-by-step as they
learn to produce high-quality welds using different materials, material
thicknesses, and positions
Experiments provide direct routes to learning the parameters of specific
welding processes, from equipment and setup procedures through actual
welding techniques
Notations appear beside key figures, signaling readers when procedures
being described can be viewed in our welding video series to minimize the
learning curve
Stand-alone chapters provide maximum flexibility, enabling users to pick
and choose topics for study based on their particular interests
A companion Study Guide/Lab Manual is also available, making it easy to
gain hands-on welding practice
