Focusing on real-world fabrication problems and the development of problem-solving skills, this guide to welding describes a broad range of methods from different welding specialties. It also provides a brief review of the non-welding knowledge that welders need to advance their trade. Written in question-and-answer format, and thoroughly illustrated, the book discusses fabrication, pipe and tubing, bending and straightening, vehicle welding, welding problems, strength of materials, and materials suppliers. The author has also co-authored another welding book fo this publisher. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
