Modern Welding is a comprehensive text designed to teach fundamentals, theory and techniques for welding and cutting processes. The book includes a thorough coverage of different welding symbols, inspection, testing and getting a job within the welding industry. The content is correlated to AWS standards and is specified for certification and qualification for entry-level welders. There is a strong emphasis on ventilation and respiratory protection. The book gives beginners insight into safety in the welding shop, reading welding symbols, print reading, welding and cutting processes and shielded metal arc welding equipment. The book also covers GTAW and GMAW equipment and supplies, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc cutting, oxyfuel gas welding and oxyfuel gas cutting. Students will learn the fundamentals of soldering, brazing and braze welding as well as resistance welding equipment, special welding process and special ferrous welding applications. The book comes with chapters dedicated to the welding shop, getting and holding a job in the welding industry, technical date and heat treatment of metals within 784 pages of text.
