Features: This book is revised based on the 1991 edition. While maintaining the basic structure of each chapter, it has been appropriately adjusted and updated in content in line with teaching practices, the needs of vocational skill certifications, and the continuous development of welding technology. Some examples have been added. The book fully adopts the latest international standards, terminology, and legal metrological units. It integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications, providing a detailed introduction to various common welding processes (such as gas welding, shielded metal arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas-shielded welding, etc.). It offers a thorough analysis of welding arcs, the principles of metal fusion welding, welding materials, welding equipment, and the welding of common metallic materials. The book also provides a certain description of other welding and cutting methods, common welding defects and inspection techniques, as well as the formation mechanisms of welding stress and deformation and their prevention measures. The revised edition particularly includes content on the quality control of welded structures and elaborates on welder assessments and the formulation of welding process specifications. This book is intended for use by teachers and students in mechanical welding programs and heat processing trades at vocational and technical schools, as well as for reference by school-based professional teachers and students.
