The Essential Welder, Gas Metal Arc Welding Projects

First Edition
Author: Richard Rowe

A unique and practical introduction to the basics of gas metal arc welding.

Written for beginners, the book presents concepts in digestible chunks and reinforces the content with "Knowledge Checks" interspersed throughout, a wealth of chapter-end review questions, and a variety of welding exercises. Safety is emphasized throughout.

The user can attempt an assortment of hands-on welding exercises presented in a competency-based format as well as more challenging hands-on projects.

Features:

• safety is emphasized throughout, both for personal protection and as a cost-saving factor for organizations
• AWS terminology and symbols are used throughout
• common welding jargon is related to accepted and current AWS terminology
• handy tables give student quick reference for selection of materials and settings for welding equipment
• concise and easy-to-read content reinforced by "Knowledge Checks" review questions interspersed in text
