Structural Welding Quality Handbook 2016

Based upon AWS D1.1-2016 Structural Welding Code – Steel, and the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings   a must for: ironworkers, fitters and welders inspectors fabricators and erectors engineers and detailers 4″ by 8″ pocket-sized convenience, 128 pages   The Structural Welding Quality Handbook has been prepared to assist welders, supervisors, inspectors, engineers, and others involved in the design, fabrication, erection and inspection of steel-framed buildings and structures in achieving quality workmanship and inspection in their welding operations.    Included in the Handbook are topics such as: welding inspection tasks, before during and after welding, assigned by AISC 360-16 welding inspection tasks, before during and after welding, referenced to AWS D1.1:2015 discontinuities and defects – definitions, measurement, acceptance criteria, and repair requirements; with causes and recommendations prequalified groove weld joint details, measurement and tolerances for common joints fillet weld measurement and fit-up tolerances preheat and interpass temperature tables and measurement minimum weld sizes reentrant corner, beam cope and weld access hole details welding procedure guidelines and troubleshooting welder qualification tables based upon plate tests electrode classification and selection tables for SMAW, FCAW, and GMAW SMAW electrode exposure limits guidelines for minimizing distortion thermal cutting quality and guidelines air carbon arc gouging guidelines metric conversion tables welding position figures and tables welding symbols and much more.
