Oxyfuel Gas Welding and Cutting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637760680)

Oxyfuel Gas Welding and Cutting provides students with a simple, unintimidating text to use when learning oxyfuel gas welding, cutting, and allied process (brazing, braze welding, and torch soldering). This convenient write-in text is divided into 35 small, easy-to-understand units, with a series of review questions at the end of the unit to reinforce and evaluate student learning. The first section of the book provides students with general welding knowledge they need in order to successfully study and apply oxyfuel processes, including measurement, safety, and the interpretation of the welding symbols used in construction drawings. Subsequent units step students through learning the various processes in small increments, ensuring that students thoroughly understand theory and master technique before proceeding to the next step.

• Includes units on specialized applications, such as welding aluminum, welding thick steel, and braze welding cast iron.
• Provides instruction in both forehand and backhand welding, and addresses welding in all positions.
• Features numerous step-by-step procedures that walk students through complex techniques, such as setting up an oxyfuel gas welding rig; lighting, adjusting, and turning off a welding torch; and manually cutting steel plate with an oxyfuel gas cutting torch.
• Helps students identify qualities that render welds unacceptable and provides solutions to correct problems with technique that cause these problems.
