Welding is an art and skill that's essential for automotive fabrication, repair, and vehicle upgrades. It is also an important skill for countless household projects and industries. Some books show basic welding techniques with steel and cast iron. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill introductory welding book.
In this revised edition of the previous title, Advanced Automotive Welding, Jerry Uttrachi, past president of the American Welding Society, shows you how to perform basic welding procedures with steel and cast iron. He also reveals advanced welding techniques and the use of aluminum, titanium, magnesium, stainless steel, and other specialty materials. Projects and techniques focus on automotive applications but they can also be used for welding a bicycle frame, a steel grill, and other everyday fixes.
TIG, oxyacetylene, arc, and wire-feed welding processes are detailed, with special coverage on stick and MIG processes. Welding butt and V-joints is explained as well as welding more complex joints, including J- and U-joints. Step-by-step instruction gives you the necessary information to tackle and complete almost any welding job. Popular automotive projects, such as welding an electric fuel pump into an aluminum tank, repairing chrome-moly suspension arms, and welding in floorpans are thoroughly covered. And when it comes to repairing household items, specific projects such as repairing and modifying the steel tubing on an exercise machine, repairing the frame for a decorative bench, and more are covered.
Whether you're new to welding, a veteran weldor working with special materials, or involved in a special project, you will find indispensible information within the pages of this book.
This book is a 2015 International Automotive Media Competition (IAMC) Silver Medal Winner.

Welding is an essential skill for the classic car restorer and enthusiast fabricator because almost all high-performance and collector cars need welding repair or restoration work. Welding automotive components, body parts, and other pieces requires specific equipment and specialized skills. With this book, you can make the transition from welding simple joints to welding J-, U-, and other complex joints. In addition, you will be able to weld aluminum, chrome-moly, stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, and magnesium.
American Welding Society past president and welding expert author Jerry Uttrachi reveals all major welding processes and techniques, so you can weld to repair and fabricate with advanced materials. TIG, MIG, oxyacetylene, and stick welding techniques are illustrated for a wide range of automotive applications, so you can complete advanced chassis, body, and engine welding projects. MIG is by far the most popular welding process, and as such, MIG welding techniques, including spray arc, short arc, and pulsed arc, are shown and discussed in great detail. Using the techniques revealed in this book, you will be able to fabricate many body, structural, and functional automotive components. Automotive-related welding projects include constructing and installing a roll cage, welding subframe connectors onto a chassis, repairing an aluminum frame, welding in a floorpan, and many others. Additional projects include adding features to an exercise machine, building an automatic gate closure, and mending a metal weather vane.
Regardless of your skill level, this book will help you improve your abilities and complete more advanced projects.
