Schweisserhandbuch für das Stumpfschweissverfahren

The welding process with a coated electrode, referred to by the AWS (American Welding Society) as SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), is a pioneer in the permanent joining of metals through the use of an arc and is the most widely used method across all time periods and industries. Its significance within the production process chain is twofold: practicality and quality concerning the criteria of mechanical strength, with broad applications in industry, construction, and other areas of engineering. This book covers the application of the most commonly used welding process worldwide for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It serves as a practical guide with a step-by-step instruction on igniting the arc with the coated electrode up to welding beads in a horizontal position in a corner joint.
