This book covers an important and frequently overlooked area of
welding - the repair of molds, tools and dies. Because two
rather different trades overlap in this process - welding and
tool making, the materials and techniques involved have tended
to be obscured. For many years, toolmakers and tool users have
had to rely on the small number of specialist welders who do
understand exactly what welding repair involves and have the
skills to carry it out. Understanding the technical side of tool
steels is frequently a problem for welders and understanding the
practical side of welding can be a problem for machinists. This
book has been written so that specialists from both sides can
get to grips with the techniques and procedures involved. -
Wonderfully illustrated with diagrams that explain key points -
Exhaustive reference of steels in the first appendix (48 pages)
- "Reading it is like being taught to weld molds, tools and dies
by a friend who is highly experienced in this trade." (Rocky
Huber in his review)
