A Guide to Designing Welds Handbooks in Welding Technology Series by John G. Hicks. This book is written with the design and welding interface in mind and is intended to inform designers not only what they should perhaps know about welding for design purposes, but primarily to set out what information the designer should give to the welding engineer or fabrication superintendent so that the designer’s aims can be achieved, in terms of engineering performance, safety, reliability, cost, and appearance.
