The Art of Welding (Workshop Practice Series No. 7) is a great piece of work based on his experiences as a welder and welding inspector. The author, W.A. Vause explains basic techniques on various welding processes. They consist of oxy-acetylene welding, brazing, and electric arc, flame-cutting welding with cast iron, mild steel, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, etc., in a plate, sheet or cast form. According to the author, the demand for electric arc and oxy-acetylene welding is increasing.
