Welding Fabrication and Repair: Questions & Answers / Edition 1

by Frank Marlow

Overview

Written by the coauthor of the best-selling book Welding Essentials, this practical guide provides insights, ideas, and tips for solving real-world fabrication problems. By presenting a broad range of methods from different welding specialties and a brief, clear understanding of the non-welding knowledge nearly all welders must have to advance in their trade, Welding Fabrication and Repair can shorten the time needed to develop effective problem-solving skills. Created for welders who know the basics and now want to put their skills to better use, this book is one of only a handful of truly “must have” welding references.
