Welding is a skill that any do-it-yourself enthusiast needs in his or
her arsenal. How to Weld is the perfect introduction for newbies and
an excellent refresher for veteran welders--a work so comprehensive that
most readers won't need any further instruction.
In How to Weld, a bestselling installment in the Motorbooks Workshop
series, AWS-certified welding instructor Todd Bridigum thoroughly
describes process and art of fusing metals, including:
- Tools and equipment commonly used
- Types of metals and their weldability
- Welding techniques
- Shop and site safety
- Types of joints
In addition, all popular types of welding variants are covered,
including gas welding, shielded metal arc (or stick) welding,
gas metal arc welding (MIG), gas tungsten arc welding (TIG),
brazing, soldering, and even metal cutting. Each skills section
concludes with a series of exercises, each illustrated with
captioned sequential color photography, to fully explain and detail
the techniques learned.
Mechanics, automotive enthusiasts, farmers, metalworkers, and other
DIYers who can't bond metal can't make repairs and they can't create--in
short, they can't do much of anything except bolt together pre-made
parts. With this thorough and completely illustrated all-color tutorial
by an experienced college-level instructor, readers can get on the path
fabricating and fixing metals on their own. How To Weld is the only
book about welding they'll ever need.
The Motorbooks Workshop series covers topics that engage and
interest auto and motorcycle enthusiasts. Written by subject-matter
experts and illustrated with step-by-step and how-it's-done reference
images, Motorbooks Workshop is the ultimate resource for how-to
know-how.
