Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Handbook

Rating:
Summary: A Little Bit Technical
Review: Being a weldor as a hobby, I found this book to be more in depth than I initially anticipated. It was great to find out how my machine works and learn what has caused some of my past failures. I think this book is great for metalurgical references for my applications. Being a hobbiest I didn't really need to know about the industrial aspects or how to read specs. But I guess even unused information isn't bad to have. Its hard to acquire this knowledge on the side.

Summary: Easy but comprehensive
Review: Excellent for reference as well as for the beginner. Provides specific, in depth information while still practical. Well illustrated. Concise. However, not thorough enough for the advanced weldor interested in complete discussion of metallurgy and other principles.

Summary: It's Wolfram!
Review: I don't hold with this new fangled "tungsten." In my day, it was wolfram, and by Gar we loved it! Of course, in my day we dug holes for fun, so perhaps I shouldn't talk. I particularly liked the bit about copper ablation - well done in most aspects. And for the prospective wolfram arc welder, the section on weld repair is one of a kind. You don't find such succinct explanations of weld repair anymore.

Summary: Instructors edition is a waste of money
Review: THe instructors edition is not even a book. It is some sort of supplement to the actual text....completely useless...save your money.
