Shielded Metal Arc Welding, 9th Edition
Shielded Metal Arc Welding is a write-in text that progresses from basic theory to specialized techniques. It focuses on the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process. A unit on welding problems provides solutions that students can use when they encounter an issue. New and expanded content updated for this edition includes fire safety and protection; unclassified electrodes; welding positions; filler metal content; weld penetration; voltage polarity; low hydrogen electrodes; deposit rate; nondestructive testing; destructive testing; and the responsibilities of a welding inspector.
