Gas Metal Arc Welding & Flux Cored Arc Welding provides a simple but complete introduction to the various welding processes of GMAW and FCAW. The full-color text—featuring an exciting new interior design—covers the principles, equipment, techniques, processes, and safety involved with these welding methods. This new edition aligns with the latest AWS SENSE Level I standards to prepare students for Modules 5 and 6 Entry Welder certification. Each chapter includes two hands-on activities for students to practice skills learned in the chapter. This new edition includes new Tech Tip, Caution, and Warning features to engage students and emphasize safety, and many new images have been incorporated throughout the text to show the latest tools, equipment, and techniques.

This EARLY RELEASE Online Textbook will be replaced with the Reflowable Online Textbook, coming soon!
