Why use this?

This ASM Handbook volume is one of the most comprehensive references on joining technologies and their application to engineered materials. It provides practical guidance on consumable selection, welding procedure development, process fundamentals, metallurgical behavior, and joining of metals and other engineering materials.

A welding or materials engineer uses it when designing a joint, selecting a process or filler metal, troubleshooting weldability, or developing a qualified procedure. With more than 500 illustrations and 400 tables, it is particularly valuable as a deep technical reference alongside applicable AWS, ASME, ISO, and project-specific codes. [138][139][146]
