Full Description

First in a new series, this Weldability Primer answers a multitude of questions on fabrication and repair projects to help you select the method, materials, and procedures for superior results. Chapters include "The Questions," "Key Background Information," "What Happens When You Weld," "Selection of Proper Electrodes and Rods," "Weld Defects and Causes," and "Post Weld Treatments." This Primer should sit on the desks of QA/QC personnel, engineers, shop owners and managers, and senior technicians. Author Fritz Saenger, Jr., PE, IWE, has assembled this highly useful tool, drawing heavily from the AWS Welding Handbook, George E. Linnert's Welding Metallurgy, ASM Handbook Volume 6, and AWS's Jefferson's Welding Encyclopedia.
