WELDING, DESIGN, PROCEDURES AND INSPECTION

This manual contains criteria and basic data for welded construction design, construction methods, and inspection procedures for Army construction.

This manual covers only the following welding processes and materials commonly used for field construction projects: shielded metal-arc, gas metal-arc, gas tungsten-arc, flux-cored arc, submerged arc, exothermic, and arc stud welding processes.

Discussions of physics, chemistry, and metallurgy are limited to areas helpful in selecting welding processes, materials, and inspection procedures for the applications.
