Audel Welding Pocket Reference 1st Edition

Well written and in 5 minutes one can feel the experience from the author which provides an easier learn. Not just random facts and practices. I took in each new item seriously, always looking forward to the next and usually give examples th prove these new practices.Very concise and structured lessons presented in an easily digested form, nice and easy butmknowledge rich.After reading a lot of this book, I'll say it's about as good as some of the industry standard books that list for $600+.I still don't know who buys those high priced titles when a good informative book for a reasonable price is available.

This book is an excellent reference for those of use who prefer books on paper. I downloaded the Kindle version which I have read "cover to cover". I am not a professional welder but have professional interest from the medical device applications of welding and need a quick reference for welding processes that I may encounter in my professional role. This book is a little dated but gives a thorough background on the science of bonding of various metals and their alloys. Those interested in automated and or exotic processes will need to seek a more sophisticated resource however this book's content serves as an excellent primary source and resource for the fundementals of metalic welding processes. I am out to purchase the print version that I can carry in the field.

This little handbook has more useful material than most of my other full sized and giant sized welding books. This is especially true for the oxy segments. They publish other books in this size for other trades and I hope they are as useful. You can be sure I will find out. A very easily accessed treasure trove... especially for me, a novice. Check it out, it's easy to use and can save costly mistakes.

This is great for welding school.

This little book is great. Tons of useful information from deadly gases, to oxyfuel, types of metal, joints, tips, ect...Well worth the money to toss in your bag or tool box, or read this on the pooper instead of your phone.Bottom line, if I lost it, I'd buy another. Would even make a great gift for a hobbyist or a pro.

Great book
