## Description

Welding is an essential skill for the avid car enthusiast, car builder, and fabricator. Engines, exhaust, intake, suspensions, frames, all can be welded for repair and fabrication purposes. While many introductory or entry-level welding books are available on the market, this is the first book to comprehensively cover advanced techniques, complex joints, advanced processes, and working with a variety of materials, including aluminum, Chrome-moly, stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and magnesium. American Welding Society Vice President Jerry Uttrachi is a master welder and he reveals all major welding processes and techniques, so you can repair and fabricate using advanced materials and complete complex projects. TIG, MIG, oxy-acetylene, and stick welding techniques are illustrated for a wide range of automotive applications. Uttrachi details how to make a butt joint, single pass butt, double pass butt, joggle joint, lap joint welds, and numerous other varieties of joint weld

Review: The One Book You Can Use to Actually Teach Yourself to Weld - On Your Own! - If you know nothing about welding, I am convinced you could teacher yourself to weld with any of the major processes, just from reading this book. I do not make that statement lightly! While having experience in all four major methods of welding (Oxy/Acetylene; Stick; MIG and TIG), I really only consider myself "proficient" in the latter two, "capable" in Stick and Oxy (gas) is still a mystery to me. After reading the first page of Chapter 1, I now understand what my problem is (being a retired educator who enjoyed working with metal, I've had experience at becoming expert at diagnosing "learning disconnects" and rarely is the answer "the welding machine is stupid" (the weldor's equivalent of a public school student's "the calculator is stupid" - when they fail to get the correct answer). Not only does this text hand out some key "welding wisdom," it lays out a system (and order) of learning the various welding methods it covers. It will make sense to you (if you've never tried welding before), or gave you insight to why you're maybe not as good with one method as others (if you've had some experience welding). There are sufficient "application" projects at the end of each chapter to give you as much practice as you may want/need. Despite my overall enthusiasm for this text and belief this could be used as a stand alone text, there are some limits (all good really). 1) It only covers welding techniques (as well as some metal cutting processes) - there is no coverage of brazing, or soldering (get Richard Finch's Welder's Handbook for excellent coverage of those topics). 2) A book of 176 pages can't cover it all re: Welding, but it will get you far enough that you could then pick up one of the 600 page texts used in professional trade schools/courses without being overwhelmed. 3) As the title implies, this is a text about automotive welding, so if you want to learn how to weld steel girders to build a bridge, or thick steel plate for a yacht, this is not the book for that. 4) The only other comment I will add is that this publisher has a similar text titled Basic Automotive Welding, it is a different text, but different authors - you do not need it before going to this book!
Review: Really interesting - First of all: I'm not a welder. I have done some gas welding in the past, but that's it. This book covers all of the major types of welding (MIG/TIG/oxy/stick) and talks about the advantages and disadvantages of subtypes (spray arc, short arc, pulse arc, etc.) He goes into detail about the power sources and types of power delivery. What kinds of filler metal get used. He even gets into detail about the hardening and annealing that goes on, and what's happening with the metal around the weld. For all the types of welds he describes, he goes on to use an example of where you might want to use that kind of weld in real life, in an automotive setting. Examples include: repairing aluminum cylinder heads, roll bars, floorpans, and other projects. I don't think you want this book if you're trying to learn to weld. But you do want this book if you're trying to decide on the best process to use for a particular project, and if you want to understand what's happening to the metal when you're welding it. Even if I never pick up a welding torch I am really glad I bought this book.
