The Australian Welding Guide is an ultimate portable welding reference guide for welders. The handbook is the product of the Welding Industries of Australia. Besides this, the book is useful for professionals like welding engineers, design and costing personnel, welding specialists, workshop supervisors, and the students. The book mainly consists of two sections i.e. product section and technical reference section.
The product sections explain comprehensive product information on various range of Welding Industries of Australia (WIA) consumables. And the technical reference section contains detailed information the welding professionals need. In addition, the book comprises a summary of all WIA and Hobart filler metal products.
