Introduction to Welding Processes 151

Introduction to Welding Processes provides a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used welding processes, including shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and oxyfuel welding. It also covers laser welding and other emerging welding practices. In addition, it discusses the many variables necessary to perform any welding process, as well as how to read a welding procedure specification (WPS). After taking this class, users will have a foundational understanding of several common welding processes and the variables they rely on. This information prepares users to select appropriate weld processes and variables for different applications.
