Gas Tungsten Arc Welding handbook by William H Minnick Goodheart-Willcox co. copyright©1985,1992,1996,2000,2006 ISBN#13-978-1-59070-581-0 After much looking around at stand alone and combination welding instruction books. I settled on this one. As it only covered the GTAW, or TIG as it once was called. Looking for something that had all the info on the subject, so I can have the knowledge to make a decision on buying a machine to do the welding I could possibly do in the near term. Along with the pointers from the people here. I figured that it would be a walk in the park! Well It does cover just about everything one could want or need in a book. * The process * Operation and safety * Equipment * Auxiliary equipment and systems * Shielding gases and regulators * Filler materials * Welding joints and types * Tooling and equipment setup * Manual welding techniques * Covering aluminum,magnesium,copper and copper alloys,steel and steel alloys, stainless steel,nickel,nickel alloys,titanium, pipe and dissimilar metals Then moving on to semiauto and automatic welding, quality control/inspection,welding repair. Qualification and Certification estimating costs and a good reference section. Since it is a text book for training purposes. It is set up to cover the subject matter in the chapter heading and only that. You don't have to hunt thru a large chapter if you want some bit of info. It also means that if you have no interest in some subject matter. Such as the titanium welding in a bubble with an inert atmosphere you can skip that chapter or section of the chapter with out wondering if you have missed something else. I will say that this book is up there with the ones that everyone should have on their reference shelf. |
