"The process of joining materials is known as welding. The most common materials that are weld together are thermoplastics and metals. This process involves heating the materials at high temperatures to melt them and then allowing them to cool which results in the fusion of the materials. Arc welding, gas welding, solid-state welding and resistance welding are the most common types of welding processes. This book is compiled in such a manner that it will provide an in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of welding. It discusses the diverse types of welding along with the necessary techniques and safety precautions. This book will be beneficial to anyone who wants to take up welding professionally." -- Back cover
