Subject: Welding
Grade Level: 9-14
- Modern Welding is a comprehensive text that has long been the standard for teaching theory, fundamentals, equipment, and techniques of welding technology, with enough information to span a two-year curriculum. Covering all of the information required for complete AWS SENSE Level 1 and Level 2 certification, this text includes shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, oxyfuel gas welding and cutting, various thermal cutting processes, testing and inspection, welding symbol interpretation, and print reading. The text also includes Nonstandard Terminology features, introducing students to the jargon commonly used in the welding industry to help them communicate effectively on the job.
- Includes 30 step-by-step procedures that guide students through challenging welding-related operations
- Features a time-saving Quick Reference Table of Contents that directs students to the specific reference tables in the book
- Presents safety information in bold red type throughout the text to reinforce and highlight this critical information
