Advanced welding processes

Advanced Welding Processes introduces the range of advanced welding technologies currently in use. The book first addresses general topics such as power sources, filler materials, and gases. The bulk of the text delves into the main welding techniques. These include gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), high energy density processes, and narrow-gap welding techniques. Reviews of process control, automation, and robotics round out the discussion. The author guides readers in selecting the best welding technology for a given mechanical or structural engineering application. This work is an excellent introductory guide for beginners and a practical field reference for professionals.
