Shielded Metal Arc Welding

Shielded metal arc welding is an electric arc welding process where the heat for welding is generated by an electric arc between a covered metal electrode and the work. Operating theory, materials, costs, procedures, welding problems, welder safety and training are a few topics which this book encompasses. Metric conversions have been added in parenthesis throughout the book. Appropriate revisions and additions have been made to this Third Edition incorporating the latest advances in the process. This comprehensive guide should benefit anyone who welds or is involved in shielded metal arc welding.
