Technical Information and Resources
Welding Journal
The award-winning Welding Journal offers feature articles, late-breaking
news, stainless steel, brazing, automation, Washington, and Web site
columns, new product and literature spotlights, company and personnel
maneuvers and advancement, and peer-reviewed R&D reports. The Welding
Journal is read by more people around the world than any other welding
and related joining processes publication and has won more than 65 awards
for editorial and design excellence.
Inspection Trends
Inspection Trends was launched specifically for AWS-certified professionals
dealing with all facets of nondestructive examination. The magazine’s goal,
to enhance job performance for those whose responsibility is quality assur-
ance, is accomplished through quarterly reports. Covers new technology,
trends, issues, safety, and basic methods in quarterly editions.
Standards
AWS is recognized worldwide as the impartial forum for the development of
consensus-based American National Standards for welding. Over 170 stan-
dards – as codes, recommended practices, guides, and specifications – are
led by AWS’ flagship standard, the Structural Welding Code—Steel. Even a
quick review of this catalog shows the breadth of coverage that only an
established and respected organization such as AWS can provide.
Best-of-Industry Books and Manuals
AWS not only publishes single-author publications such as the renowned
Welding Metallurgy, but also supports the publication of the singular
Welding Handbook and the AWS-18th edition of Jefferson’s Welding
Encyclopedia. Dedicated to improving the environment of welding, AWS
ensures the timely dissemination of safety documents, including one of the
most relied on in the U.S., Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied
Processes. New AWS series for the serious welding professional include The
Professional’s Advisors and The Practical Reference Guides.
Online Access, Telephone Services and Global Reach
The AWS Web site – www.aws.org – is used by literally thousands of Members
and visitors each month. Within a secure environment, memberships can be
renewed, books and standards selected, classifieds perused, calendars checked,
and questions asked and answered in real time. In addition, the entire AWS
Welding Show can be toured, free safety fact sheets can be downloaded, and
more – the activities are extensive and continue to grow.

Certified Proficiency Programs
AWS’ widely recognized certification programs ensure that inspectors, edu-
cators, and welders can perform to an industry-standardized level. To
achieve this AWS mark of excellence, applicants face a rigorous review of
credentials as well as examinations and hands-on trials. More than 47,000
professionals have discovered the personal advantages of becoming AWS-
certified and their employers have reaped the competitive edge this desig-
nation brings to QA and QC efforts. Members are entitled to substantial sav-
ings on application and examination fees.
Networking and Intelligence Gathering
The AWS Welding Show, International Exposition and Annual Convention
brings more than 25,000 professionals together in what has been described
as “the convergence of a $40 billion industry.” This mega-event features
hundreds of exhibitors with their helpful technical representatives, and
dozens of seminars, roundtables, lectures, and special events. In addition,
one of the world’s largest gatherings of researchers convenes during the
AWS Convention, constituting its Professional Program. If you value being
in the know, if you want your team instructed, invigorated, and innovative,
this is one event your company can’t afford to miss.
Serving on an AWS Committee
Over 1,400 professionals currently serve on more than 200 technical com-
mittees dedicated to the development of consensus standards under the
rules of ANSI. Having your key personnel literally in the thick of information
that will transform into standards – used by thousands of companies both in
the U.S. and overseas – is an easily understood advantage. AWS is accredit-
ed by ANSI to publish American National Standards on welding. AWS admin-
isters the U.S. technical advisory groups (TAGs) to ISO/TC 44, Welding and
Allied Processes, and most of the ISO/TC 44 subcommittees, as well as being
the Authorized National Body (ANB) to the International Institute of
Welding (IIW). AWS also holds the secretariats of three ISO/TC 44 subcom-
mittees and a number of working groups.
You can be a part of this influence on national and international standards
by supporting participation on an AWS committee or TAG, or by enlisting
in the AWS-sponsored American Council of IIW, an important and presti-
gious body.
Local Opportunities through AWS Sections
Every AWS Membership includes an affiliation with a Section (you or your
team get to choose which one). Most Sections meet monthly, offering top-
notch speakers or technical tours, and are always enhanced with opportuni-
ties to make new professional contacts.

When selecting a test method, the test’s purpose must
be considered and balanced against time and cost.
This complete chapter from the latest Welding
Handbook examines the methods available to evaluate
the expected performance of welded and brazed joints
and thermal spray applications. Engineers must
design welded joints to meet the mechanical and
physical properties required by the service application
and environment. This publication is an excellent

Handbook, 3rd Edition
The new edition supports the work of thousands of
inspectors and supervisors with their increasingly
stringent quality-assurance responsibilities. Not too
deep and not too abridged, this edition of Welding
Inspection earns the rank of “handbook” with its
no-nonsense style, clarity of detail, and logical
progression of information—with chapters on:
•operations •inspection •safety •QA •ferrous welding
metallurgy •preheating/postweld heat treating •
discontinuities •qualification of WPSs •qualification
of welders •destructive testing •proof tests •NDE
methods •metrics •standards •symbols
It is a reference that can be used as a training
text for inspectors, engineers, and welders alike to
reinforce their abilities to evaluate the difference
between discontinuities and rejectable defects. 18
chapters, 16 tables, 108 figures, 244 pages, indexed.

Specification for Fusion
Welding for Aerospace
Applications
This revolutionary
document represents the
most significant change to
aviation welding
standards in more than 30 years, including coverage
in three areas never addressed in MIL-STDs: design,
repair, and nonflight hardware. And, for the first
time, there are authoritative procedures for weld
repair of in-service (existing) aerospace flight hard-
ware. In fact, the standard’s use of weld repair tech-
nology enables weld overhaul beyond the areas origi-
nally designated for a weld.
The excellent coverage on inspection is bolstered
with information to avoid both under- and over-
inspection, arising from the D17 Committee’s position
that, “Choosing acceptance criteria beyond the
capability of the welding process may lead to
numerous inspection rejections, increasing costs.”
Guide for Steel Hull Welding
The best practical methods to weld steel hulls for ships,
barges, mobile offshore drilling units, and other marine
vessels. Includes information on steel plates, shapes,
castings, and forgings, their selection, and their
weldability.
Features:
• Welding processes and proper welding design
• Hull construction preparation: materials,
erection, and fitting, control of distortion
• Qualification of procedures and personnel
• Inspection methods
• Stray current protection
• Health and safety of the work force
Non-mandatory appendices are provided for informa-
tional purposes. 9 tables and 72 illustrations. 107

information presented applies chiefly to the welding of
aluminum hulls that are over 30 ft. (9 m) in length and
made of sheet and plate 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) thick and
greater. The distinction is made because of the different
requirements for welding thin-gauge (less than 3/16 in.)
