This same subject was recently dealt with in our new page on Weld-quality .

Here however links to several external sources are introduced.

These may offer different points of view and enrich readers' experience.

Also commercial companies may be linked to.

In these cases no recommendation or endorsement is intended.

Readers should investigate on their own all claims, and satisfy themselves that the proposed solutions indeed meet their purposes and needs.

The references provided are believed to be reliable and useful, but no effort was exerted to grade them according to any criteria.

If readers want to suggest links to other sources that were left out by oversight, we will add them if prompted to do so.

The references published in this Bulletin_115 were selected to provide useful knowledge to our readers.

The addresses reported hereafter in this Bulletin_115 were live and correct at the time of their publication.

There is no guarantee that they will always be so, because they are administered by the sources themselves and are under their control.

Note: References to articles or other documents are given here in one of two forms.

If the links are "live" (usually underlined or otherwise highlighted) they are operated with a click of the mouse.

If they are URL's (Uniform Resource Locator), which is the analogue of an address, they begin with "http://..." or "www.".

These are not live and must be copied and pasted entirely into the browser (after having selected them with the mouse or otherwise).

If they are long they may be displayed in two or more lines.

In that case one has to care that the URL be copied completely in a single line without any space, and Enter.

If the information is important to you, you may save the downloaded selected pages in a suitable folder on your Computer for easy reference.

You are welcome to forward this Bulletin_115 Resources page to those of your friends who may profit of this information.
