The details..

The ESAB Welding Handbook provides an in-depth look at the various types of filler materials used in both manual and automatic welding processes. The book covers everything from submerged arc fluxes and wires to MIG/MAG/TIG wires and rods, as well as handwelding electrodes, gas welding rods, spool types, storage and handling guidelines.

In addition to providing detailed information on specific products for automatic, semi-automatic and TIG welding applications - including approvals from Classification Societies such as ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), AWS (American Welding Society) or BV (Bureau Veritas) - the handbook also offers general recommendations for submerged arc or gas shielded metal arc welding. This includes advice on choosing the correct electrode based on ISO Codification system grades or ship steel classifications like HT (high tensile).

To help readers navigate through all this technical information more easily there are several tables included throughout the book that provide quick reference guides. These include approved combinations of OK Flux/OK Autrod fillers according to AWS/DIN/BS Standards; recommended joint preparation/welding data when using OK Fluxes like 10.40-10.81; or equivalent tables with OK fillers suitable for SA-MIG-TIG stainless steel welds according to SIS-AFNOR-AISI-DIN Standards.

Overall,the ESAB Welding Handbook is an essential resource not only for professional welders but also anyone interested in learning about different types of filler materials available today.It's factual yet engaging writing style makes it easy-to-read while still being informative enough so that even beginners can understand what they needto know before starting their next project.
