Books on Welding
Courtesy of kenm@daffy.cac.washington.edu.
Here's a source of good and inexpensive welding books. A catalog is available from:
Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation
PO Box 17035
Cleveland, OH 44117
They list a couple of dozen titles. Here are nutshell reviews of the ones I've seen:
Metals and How to Weld Them, 400 pg, $5.00
A great book on the metallurgy of welding. It's not a how-to-weld book, but instead answered the Why? type questions I've had for years.
Principles of Industrial Welding, 384 pg, $6.50
Your run-of-the-mill textbook.
Design of Weldments, 464 pg, $7.00
A text on the design of welded machinery etc. There is a different book on welded structures. Well worth it it you are designing your own projects.
New Lessons in Arc Welding, 528 pg, $5.00
Hard to describe - kind of a lab manual for a welding tips. Certainly worth the $5.
Arc Welded Projects Vol 2, 272 pg, $5.00
Arc Welded Projects Vol 3, 170 pg, $4.50
Full of short (couple of page) descriptions of all kinds of rather ambitious projects - a tractor snowblower, log splitter, chariot, sailboat, woodstove, ....
These are good books at any price, and great books at these prices.
