This text is extensively illustrated and includes many tables and charts for selecting the variables required to make a good weld

Welding Technology Fundamentals covers all of the equipment and needs associated with the cutting and welding processes that are most widely known throughout the welding industry today. These processes can include cutting and oxyfuel gas welding, gas metal arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, resistance welding and gas tungsten arc welding. Text also offers more information regarding different welding inspection and testing, welding symbols,Welder qualification and updated safety information with concerns to electrical hazards and fire. The text is organized into eight different sections, which can be studied in sequence or independently. In addition to the easy-to-understand format, the text has extensive illustrations and includes tables and charts for selecting variables needed to make a good weld. The text covers weld joints and positions, horizontal, vertical and overhead welding positions as well as equipment and supplies, equipment assembly and adjustment and flat welding positions. The book is 465 pages.
