By: Kevin E. Bowditch and Mark A. BowditchCopyright: 2012
Subject: Welding
Grade Level: 9-14
- Oxyfuel Gas Welding introduces students to the fundamentals of gas welding and cutting processes with simple, easy-to-understand instruction. The combination text and workbook approach allows students to work at their own pace. Includes information about forehand and backhand welding, out-of-position welding, welding thick materials, welding aluminum, oxyfuel cutting, brazing, soldering, welding symbols, inspection and testing, and brazing cast iron. The Instructor's Resource CD contains useful resources, such as textbook question answer keys, section quizzes, a final exam, a list of welding websites, and an introductory document that explains how to manage a welding lab, assign student jobs, and effectively use the textbook.
