NEW
6th EDITION
MODERN WELDING TECHNOLOGY
A well-accepted textbook is being released
in a newly updated and revised 6th edition. Scott
Helzer, PhD. is introducing readers to the latest welding
technical information and advancements in technology through the
addition of hybrid welding and friction stir welding in this
recently published
Modern Welding Technology. Adding his expertise to the
years of experience of the original author, Howard B. Cary
(1920-2001), Dr. Scott Helzer has enhanced this publication by
revising the content throughout.
Serving as a national faculty member for
Embry Riddle Aeronautical
University, Dr. Helzer also works as a consultant for the
American Welding Society and
serves on national AWS welding committees. He holds a PhD from
Texas A&M University with a
specialization in welding metallurgy and nondestructive testing
and inspection.
“This edition marks the passing of one of welding industries
great talents, Howard Cary,” says Scott Helzer. “As part of the
group known as the greatest generation, he contributed much to
the industry we know as welding. If you listened carefully as
Howard spoke, he spoke of many processes and technologies in the
first person. They were his processes and his improvements and
his inventions. He certainly exemplified the traits and
characteristics of the greatest generation.”
Modern Welding Technology continues to be a leading
introductory textbook building a strong foundation for students’
knowledge and continuing study. The latest standards, codes,
and specifications have been incorporated into the features,
along with the background concepts and basic welding
techniques. With emphasis on the arc welding processes, the use
of steel for industry and construction is thoroughly examined
and examples of welding problems and solutions are provided.
Devoting an entire chapter to welding power sources, the book
guides students to become familiar with current equipment and
innovative laser processes. While continuing to provide a
comprehensive coverage of basic principles and theory, the
authors have demonstrated the importance of selecting the proper
application for welding and encourage the reader to gain a more
thorough understanding of the requirements for welding.
“Welding has always played an important role in my life,”
continues Dr. Helzer. “From the first arc that I struck at the
age of six under my grandfather’s watchful eye and steady hand
to the one I made just yesterday some 40 years later. Yes
welding is changing, but it is still the same. Like the
satisfaction you feel when you raise your helmet and see the
weld that you just produced, one that is the right size, the
right shape… one that will be holding those parts in place long
after I have left this planet.”
