Preface
Production of this guide to welding was prompted originally by a wish for an up-to-date
reference on applications in the field. The content has been chosen so that it can be used
as a textbook for European welding courses in accordance with guidelines from the
European Welding Federation. Over the last few years, an equivalent Swedish guide has
been used for courses on welding processes and equipment. The author hopes that this
guide will serve as a useful reference book for those involved in welding.
In writing the book, there has been a conscious effort to ensure that both text and
illustrative material is clear, concentrating particularly on interesting and important
aspects.
Although the book has been written in Sweden, with input from Swedish experts, it
reflects technology and methods that are internationally accepted and used. My thanks
are due to all those who have been involved in the work, with particular mention to:
Clues Olsson, HighTech Engineering, who wrote the chapter on design of welded
components.
Clues-Ove Pettersson, Sandvik, who edited the section on stainless steel.
Curt Johansson, SAQ, who wrote the chapter on quality management.
Gunnar LindLn, Air Liquide, who edited the chapter on welding costs.
