Would any kind soul wish to recommend to a new mechanical engineer decent reference material for understanding the art of welding and how to specify welding on drawings. I have a copy of Machinery's Handbook already. Some specific info that I would like easy access to is:<br>
<br>
1. What weld (i.e. fillet, j-grove, butt, etc.) would be good for "x" purpose.<br>
2. Analysis of the strength of the weld (static and dynamic).<br>
3. What info is required to completly specify a particular type of weld.<br>
4. And just general info on welding techniques and processes.<br>
<br>
I am mainly involved in structural type welding (mostly electronic equipment frames) and the most common type of material I use is steel, although aluminum is sometimes used. I never took a class on welding so I guess I need to know the basics and what the guys on the shop floor are expecting to see when I send them a drawing.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
