Engineer's guide. Welding. Volume 2

Volume 2. It presents all welding methods and technologies (coated electrodes, MIG / MAG, TIG, submerged arc, plasma, electron, laser and others), welding (resistive, friction etc.) and soldering. Also described are related techniques: cutting methods (oxygen, plasma, laser), layer application and surface modification as well as gouging, gluing and other related methods. For each process the following were given: characteristics, scope of application, parameters, practical technological recommendations, variations, defects and a list of related documents.
Volume 2 deals with the following topics:

• manual arc welding with coated electrodes,
• MIG / MAG welding,
  
• arc welding with wires with a powder core,
• TIG welding, including A-TIG welding,
• arc welding,
• plasma welding,
• electron and laser welding,
• gas welding, arc and hydrogen welding, welding with a carbon electrode, electroslag welding, electrogas welding, termite welding,
• resistive welding,
• friction welding,
• diffusion welding, welding with a rotating arc, welding with high frequency currents, ultrasonic welding, explosive welding, crumple welding and arc welding of metal pins,
  
• soldering,
