Welding Engineering: An Introduction 2nd Edition

Welding Engineering: An Introduction provides a clear and accessible overview of the concepts, tools,  materials, and methods of modern welding and joining technology. With  emphasis on fundamental engineering principles, this comprehensive  textbook offers easy-to-understand coverage of a wide range of key  topics in welding engineering, from the basics of arc welding processes  to welding metallurgy, design, and safety. Concise chapters offer  numerous figures, tables, images, and recommended readings to promote  reader comprehension of the material. 

Now in its  second edition, the text contains fully revised content throughout,  including entirely new sections on additive manufacturing and  computational modeling of welds. Updated and expanded chapters address  modern arc welding power supply technology, resistance, solid-state, and  high energy density welding processes, weld inspection methods, codes  and standards, welding of high strength steels, and more. This edition  features simple yet effective end-of-chapter assignments that enhance  students’ learning and assist instructors in developing assessment  questions for their course. 

The second edition of Welding Engineering: 

•  Provides up-to-date coverage of rapidly growing techniques and technologies within the field
•  Features new assignments and true/false questions at the end of each chapter
•  Explains the essential concepts and principles necessary for more in-depth courses in welding, metallurgy, and design
•  Covers all the major welding processes used in manufacturing and fabrication

Welding Engineering: An Introduction, Second Edition is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate welding  engineering courses taught within four-year engineering degree programs,  and a valuable guide for engineers and professionals in the  manufacturing industry who need to learn fundamental welding engineering  concepts for their job roles.
