Title overview

For courses in welding and related topics.

An easy-to-read, highly visual 'diameter of electrodes' approach to welding. Welding provides engaging, reference-friendly coverage of the theory, safety issues and key skills of welding. Its emphasis on the diameter of electrodes, the preferred method across schools and home shop settings, distinguishes the text from others of its kind. Drawing on 50 years' combined experience, the authors provide setups for every important weld, along with step-by-step photos and procedures for each step.

With concise, cleanly designed chapters, this edition adds new media features, including 30 animations and 60 video presentations. It also has a new chapter: Advanced Gas Metal Arc Welding.
