Announcement


We are glad and proud of having been authorized by the Author,
David J. Keats, of Speciality Welds Ltd., to publish in our Welding Advisers Website, three previews of the important Book on Underwater Welding titled
"A Welder's Mate".

As it is essential reading for anyone involved underwater and a perfect reference for all welders, we urge our interested readers to read the third excerpt from Chapter 1 by clicking on Basic Techniques.

Then you will find links to the other two previews and to the book itself.

Online Resources (4)

Our fourth installment of pertinent Resources available online is presented here. This time the subject is Hardfacing.

First of all let us remind you of our Website Page on Hardfacing.
You will find there also references to Hardfacing Standards and Books.

An article on Selection of Hardfacing Filler Materials was published in section 4 of our Practical Welding Letter Issue 5 for January 2004. To read it click on PWL#005.
