Hicks Welded Design Theory and Practice by John Hicks. This book for engineers of all disciplines and this includes those welding engineers who do not have a background in matters of engineering design, as well as the scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry, and metallurgy for others in all professions who may find this subject of interest.
