Features: This book introduces the physical properties, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of steel used in architectural steel structures; the characteristics of welding in architectural steel structures; and common welding and cutting methods, including: shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), electric slag welding (ESW), underfill protection and self-shielding flux-cored arc welding, rivet welding, resistance spot welding, carbon arc gouging, and atmosphere cutting. It elaborates on the basic principles, characteristics, and applicable scope of various welding methods, as well as welding equipment, welding materials, welding processes, welding defects, and preventive measures. The book also covers welding quality management, welding safety, and equipment maintenance. Additionally, it provides engineering application examples and suggests discussion questions. In the appendix, the shapes and dimensions of grooves, as well as common welding equipment and materials, are listed. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in the production and construction of architectural steel structure welding to study and reference, and can also serve as a training textbook for welders.
