Welding Technology: Books, Reserves, eBooks

From conventional welding techniques to electron or laser beam, this book provides a comprehensive overview about processes, metallurgy, quality assessment, testing, and numerical simulation in welded structures.

Practice is the best way to prepare for a welding career, and makerspaces are great places to learn skills necessary to be admitted to apprenticeship programs. Participants in makerspaces benefit from classes, as well as advice from other participants in a friendly, sharing environment while independently working on their own projects. Through this edifying resource, readers will learn about the breadth of welding careers options, as well as how to get started in the field, where to get additional experience, and how to find welding jobs. They'll also get job outlook and other information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This reference explores explosion welding, a high intensity, transient impact that achieves metal compounds not obtainable otherwise. Electron microscopy images cover the structure of numerous welded joints including titanium-orthorhombic titanium aluminide, copper-tantalum, aluminum-tantalum, iron-silver, steel-steel, and copper-titanium. These weldable pairs have different solubility than their initial elements. The authors present various processes and structures including granulating fragmentation, cusps, splashes, and quasi-wave interface. Specific risk zones for chemical and petrochemical (coke chamber) reactors are probed and suggestions offered. Key Features: Offers new theories about explosion welding processes and structures Investigates dozens of weldable pairs with differing solubility from initial elements Studies both hetero- and homogeneous pairs Explores welded joints with flat, wavy and quasi-wavy separation boundaries Observes irregularities of the separation surface relief observing asperities and splashes and their transformation under intensified welding modes Unveils a new type of fragmentation under explosion welding Explosive Welding: Processes and Structures is a valuable resource for a wide range of experts involved in explosion welding, engineers, as well as graduate and postgraduate students.

Provides an introduction to all of the important topics in welding engineering. It covers a broad range of subjects and presents each topic in a relatively simple, easy to understand manner, with emphasis on the fundamental engineering principles. *          Comprehensive coverage of all welding engineering topics *          Presented in a simple, easy to understand format *          Emphasises concepts and fundamental principles

Expert advice and color photo sequences help young readers and beginners to get started welding safely and with confidence.

Learn to weld, step by step, with this beginner's guide. Welding for Beginners, adapted from Stephen Blake Christena's Learn to Weld, has culled the absolute basics that are required to build a successful welding hobby and illustrated them in these pages. Both practical and inspiring, this book teaches you the basic equipment you will need, setting up your work area, techniques for beginners with project ideas for practicing your skills, dos and don'ts, and welding safety. If you are inexperienced and want to start out strong--whether working in a home workshop, school workshop, blacksmith shop, or auto shop--this is the perfect reference. The projects illustrate the basic foundation techniques that every welder needs to know, while also helping you tackle problems and fix mistakes as well as shortcuts and level ups. Photographs and illustrations teach welding and clear, concise, easy-to-read text takes all the confusion out of the learning the processes.  This easy-to-use book includes:   Welding techniques for simple practical repairs and small artisan home projects  Safety and protective gear Workshop set-up plans Basic equipment and upkeep Basic welding types, including arc and MIG Common mistakes and troubleshooting Instructive photos showing process details for successful results  Tons of quick tips and welding hacks to give beginners a strong foundation to improve upon Three step-by-step projects: a cube, welding table, and long table Get welding!

The 5th edition of this exceptionally produced trainee guide features a highly illustrated design, technical hints and tips from industry experts, review questions and a whole lot more!
