The Practical Welding Engineer by AWS. The basis of the book is therefore an assumption that the reader is already knowledgeable of basic welding and metallurgical theory. He is most likely a metallurgist, materials science, or mechanical engineering graduate who, during his or her university career has stumbled, or been fortuitously directed, into the welding field. It is obviously a biased view, but in the opinion of the authors, welding is one of the most exciting fields available to a young graduate.
