Now nearing its 30th year of publication, WELDING: PRINCIPLES &
APPLICATIONS (WP&A), 7th Edition is the authoritative introduction
to the subject of welding. It's designed for students in a wide range of
academic and workforce training programs who want to pursue careers as
skilled welders and welding supervisors. The text also supports the
needs of learners who need to achieve a basic level of proficiency in
welding in their chosen skilled trade. While covering the procedural and
safety information all students need, WELDING: PRINCIPLES &
APPLICATIONS also explains underlying theories. The combination of
hands-on information with clear explanations of theory is a hallmark of
this book. The depth of coverage allows it to be used as the core text
in a multi-course welding curriculum, generally starting with shielded
metal arc welding, and then covering other basic processes and more
advanced techniques.
