Learn How to Weld With JFLF Welding Books, DVDs and Technical Papers

Knowledge that is developed through welding education is the most important welding tool you’ll ever own! Whether you’re a beginning welder or approaching expert status, a well-rounded welding education is key to honing your craft. Arc welding is a dynamic field in which continued learning is essential to keeping a pulse on evolving techniques and standards. Even professional welders enhance their skills by staying up-to-date on new trends and methods.

Since 1939, we’ve been the premier publisher of welding books and technical papers that feature the most comprehensive, current arc welding information and methods. We continue the tradition today by offering easy to follow educational tools anyone can utilize, regardless of skill set. Our large selection of affordable welding books, arc welding tutorial DVDs, fun welding project kits and design aids provide clear, step-by-step navigation. Because welding is so dynamic, many welders invest in curating a personal collection of educational materials for convenient reference as they continue to learn arc welding.

Metals and How to Weld Them Metals and How to Weld Them

(Second Edition) by T.B. JEFFERSON and GORHAM WOODS This book describes the internal structure of metals and its relation to mechanical and physical properties and weldability. The first edition of this book sold 30,000 copies, and the reason for this acceptance is this practical manual discusses the various metals used by industry and tells what processes and procedures can be used to weld them. This dual purpose textbook and reference manual is written in non-technical language so high school seniors, weldors, supervisors, engineers and educators will easily assimilate all data. Photos, diagrams and tables, 195 in all, back-up the text. Each of the 21 chapters concludes with a glossary of new terms used in each chapter, plus review questions on points worthy of extra note. The 400 page book is 6" x 9" with gold embossed hard cover.

Design of Weldments Design of Weldments

By Omer W. Blodgett, design consultant This reference handbook describes in detail design techniques for creating machine designs in arc welded steel. Much of this material has had no previous publication. Theoretical analysis, problem-solution examples and case history studies explain how to design machine components for manufacturing economies and improvement of product performance through efficient use of steel’s excellent physical properties. Since its publication, this book has become a standard reference manual for design problems in welded metal products. Design of Weldments includes 8 sections dealing with ‘Weldesign,’ a system that reduces weight and cost and improves production. 464 pages, 8 ½” x 11”, 923 illustrations, nomographs, charts.

Priniciples of Industrial Welding Priniciples of Industrial Welding

Designed as a reference and background text for students in welding technology, this book would be a valuable volume to anyone making a career in welding. The text has been intentionally simplified to give it widespread application to anyone associated with welding as a production process. The intent is to give a broad perspective of the fusion processes by which metals are joined, without over elaboration on specific subjects. Processes which have widespread applications such as shielded metal-arc and semiautomatic self-shielded and gas shielded electrodes are discussed in considerable detail. Plasma-arc welding is discussed only briefly. This weighting of the topics is based on current usage of the welding processes in industry, and thus the proportionate career opportunities. This book draws heavily on The Procedure Handbook published by The Lincoln Electric Company. (We would not recommend purchase if you have that book.) It also draws from standardizing and code literature from the American Welding Society, American Society of Metals, AISC, ASTM, API, AISI, ASME, and others. 384 pages, 8" x 10-3/4", gold-embossed hard cover.

How To Read Shop Drawings How To Read Shop Drawings

This book for students and shop personnel provides a simplified approach to mastering the reading of shop drawings. Designed as a selfteaching manual, How To Read Shop Drawings enables welders and others engaged in fabrication to better understand design, engineering and construction detailing. The book has been updated to contain the lastest information and application data on the American Welding Society Standing Welding Symbols. Detailed discussion tells how engineers and draftsmen use the "short-cut" language of symbols to pass on assembly and welding information to shop personnel. Practical exercises and examples develop the reader's ability to visualize mechanically drawn objects as they will appear in their assembled form. We have added a new chapter on Practical Projects, in an easy to follow format. 180 pages with more than 100 illustrations, Size 8 1/2" x 11", durable cover, board binding.
