Download or read book Principles of Welding Technology written by L. M. Gourd and published by Hodder Arnold. This book was released on 1995 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Principles of Welding Technology' equips the reader with an understanding of the essential scientific and technical basis of welding, without losing sight of the practicalities of the process. The approach is well suited to students who will go on to supervise and inspect welding work, but the book is also ideal background for craft welders wanting to deepen their understanding of the process, and for undergraduate engineers as a basic introduction. This new edition has been fully up-dated to take into account the new developments in welding technology as well as changes in safety requirements, and those arising from the harmonisation of British and international standards, most particularly with European practice and terminology.
