Good books for weld science?

Good day Jordan.

Have you looked into the Welding Handbook series by AWS? They are in the publications booklet or online at the bookstore.

Now, Volume 1, Welding Science and Technology has some very good and yet easy to read and understand chapters on metallurgy and practical application to welding. It is well worth the money.

Second, are you referring to the Welding Metallurgy or Jefferson's Welding Encyclopedia that are available at a huge discount when you join AWS? Both of them are great resources as well.

I'm sure Henry will come through with a list shortly. But those are my starting places.

Brent,

Yea I have the Welding Metallurgy, and encyclopedia, Ill have to try and get a hold of this series. I also have access to "metals Handbook" its an old series from the 70's but its so in detail its overwhelming, its 9 books, each 2" thick and small writing, but it does cover fracture mechanics as well as everything under the sun. thanks for the input!

Fracture mechanics is a very interesting study that all welders, inspectors, and company management should be required to read. Even if they don't understand all of it there are many things that we as TPI's push in QA that will make more sense with a basic understanding of fracture mechanics.

And many, many more... But I'm not going to listed all of them because you can search for them yourself by lookin @ "Related Books" in each of the books I already linked you with... :surprised:

Hi Brent! You and anyone else may want to look @ some of these also... :surprised:

The first two books above are very understandable and I recommend them to anyone especially to some of my interested top students... Good luck finding what you're looking for! :lol:
