Oxy-Acetylene Welding and Cutting: Electric, Forge and Thermit Welding, Together With Related Methods and Materials Used in Metal Working and the Oxygen Process for Removal of Carbon (Classic Reprint)

In the preparation of this work, the object has been to cover not only the several processes of welding, but also those other processes which are so closely allied in method and results as to make them a part of the whole subject of joining metal to metal with the aid of heat. The workman who wishes to handle his trade from start to finish finds that it is necessary to become familiar with certain other operations which precede or follow the actual joining of the metal parts, the purpose of these operations being to add or retain certain desirable qualities in the materials being handled. For this reason the following subjects have been included: A nnealing, tempering, hardening, heat treatment and the restoration of steel. In order that the user may understand the underlying principles and the materials employed in this work, much practical information is given on the uses and characteristics of the various metals; on the production, handling and use of the gases and other materials which are a part of the equipment; and on the tools and accessories for the production and handling of these materials.
