Welding Skills, 4th Edition

Welding Skills provides comprehensive coverage of welding safety, major welding and cutting processes, pipe welding, essential metallurgy, metal identification and weldability, welding symbols,distortion control, weld evaluation and testing, and much more. All content is clearly presented in a heavily illustrated format for easy comprehension. American Welding Society (AWS) terms and definitions are used throughout the textbook.

This edition features an expanded chapter on welding safety, a new chapter on dissimilar metal welding, and the integration of AWS SENSE-recommended content where appropriate. Each welding process section has been updated to include the latest equipment, practical explanations of operating theory, and helpful charts to assist with electrode and shielding gas selection. The new edition also features expanded coverage of the latest welding equipment, procedures, and materials and Gas Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, and Flux Cored Arc Welding. 772 pp.
