About the Author(s)

William H. Minnick -

William H. Minnick, realizing the need for a specialized type of welding text for instructors and students, drew on his many years of experience as a welder, welding engineer, and community college instructor to develop welding texts for training future welders. The author’s career in industry included experience welding on jet engines, missiles, pressure vessels, and nuclear reac¬tors. He developed the welding procedures for, and welded, the first titanium pressure vessel for the Atlas missile program. He wrote many technical papers, including articles on the research and development of procedures for welding exotic materials and on the modification of existing welding processes for automatic and robotic applications.

Mr. Minnick taught all phases of welding and metallurgy in community colleges for more than twenty years. He developed welding certificate and degree programs. In addition to this textbook, Mr. Minnick authored the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Handbook.

Mark A. Prosser - grew up in Michigan and learned how to weld in his father's collision/restoration business. As a teenager, Mark attended a local vocational school and competed in SkillsUSA welding competitions, becoming one of the six finalists for the world competition in the early 1990s.

Mark earned his associate's degree in welding technology from Ferris State University. He then transferred to Central Michigan University, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in Industrial Education. Mark has also earned a Master's degree in Adult Education and is a CWI/CWE through the American Welding Society.

Mark has taught professionally for nine years in high schools, private colleges, and public technical colleges. He has worked in the automotive industry, done governmental contract work, and welded structural steel and high-pressure piping for the chemical industry. Mark is also the author of Full-Bore Sheet Metal, a sheet metal fabrication book for custom car and bike builders.

Mark is currently a welding/fabrication instructor at Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, Wisconsin. In addition to writing and teaching, he runs a small custom paint business and welds every day. Mark continually strives to inspire young people to become excited about the welding trade.
