Abstract :
The application of welding as a manufacturing process to engineering products has spread very rapidly in the last five years. It is used in every branch of this trade, and is being used more widely every day. The reasons for this rapid growth of the application are principally economical, though other factors are increased rate of production and a generally improved product. The considerable economic claims of welding probably have resulted in a more widely extended use during the present trade depression than would have been the case otherwise.
