The Science and Practice of Welding

Volume 1 The Science and Practice of Welding by A. C Davies. The book explains the basic principles of physics, chemistry, and metallurgy as applied to welding. The section on electrical principles includes a simple description of the silicon diode and resistor, the production and use of square waves, and one-knob step-less control of welding current. There is a comprehensive section on nondestructive testing (NDT) and destructive testing of welds and crack tip opening displacement testing. The text has been brought completely up to date and now includes a new chapter devoted to the inverter power unit. Duplex stainless steel has been included in the list of materials described. Metals and How To Weld Them.
