Concise yet thorough, Welding: A Management Primer and Employee Training Guide will aid those in welding management with supervision and control of their welding operations, while offering apprentices and industrial practitioners in-depth instruction on the basic manipulative welding and cutting processes. Extensively illustrated, this hands-on reference is organized in easy-to-understand user-specific sections. The first section presents managers and small shop owners with the technical background and practical expertise needed to implement and manage their specific welding operations. In the second section readers will find a complete curriculum for self or in-plant welder training. Easy to use, this program provides all the information and practical training regimens for each of the processes described. Additionally, an extensive data section containing important welding parameters for a range of applications is provided in the third section.
