By Jerry Uttrachi
W elding is an art and skill that’s essential for automo- tive fabrication, repair, and vehicle upgrades. It is also an important skill for countless household proj- ects and industries. Some books show basic welding techniques with steel and cast iron. But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill introduc- tory welding book. In this revised edition of the previous title, Advanced Automotive Welding, Jerry Uttrachi, past president of the American Welding Society, shows you how to perform basic weld- ing procedures with steel and cast iron. He also reveals advanced welding techniques and the use of aluminum, titani- um, magnesium, stainless steel, and other specialty materials. Projects and techniques focus on automotive applications, but they can also be used for welding a
bicycle frame, a steel grill, and other everyday fixes. TIG, oxyacetylene, arc, and wire-feed welding processes are detailed, with special coverage on stick and MIG processes. Welding butt and V-joints is explained as well as welding more complex joints, including J- and U-joints. Step-by-step instruc- tion gives you the necessary information to tackle and com- plete almost any welding job. Popular automotive projects, such as welding an electric fuel pump into an aluminum tank, repairing chrome-moly suspen- sion arms, and welding in floor- pans are thoroughly covered. And when it comes to repairing household items, specific projects such as repairing and modifying the steel tubing on an exercise machine, repairing the frame for a decorative bench, and more are covered. Whether you’re new to welding, a veteran welder working with special materials, or involved in a special project, you will find indispensable information within the pages of this book. This book is a 2015 International Automotive Media Competition (IAMC) Silver Medal Winner. The 8 1/2-inch x 11-inch, 144-page softbound book features 428 color photos.
