The Professional’s Advisor on Procedure Qualification Variables
Cross-Reference Tables for AWS D1.1, AWS D1.5, AWS B2.1, ASME IX, and API 1104.
This highly useful document aids the welding professional in preparing welding procedure specifications (WPSs) and procedure qualification records
(PQRs). It covers arc welding processes of ferrous metals: SAW, SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW. The data in the cross-reference tables are typical in a WPS:
joint design, base metal, filler metal, position, preheat and interpass, heat treatment, shielding gas, electrical, and other variables such as process type (i.e.,
manual, mechanized, automatic), single or multi-pass, peening, stringer or weave bead, etc. This new Professional’s Advisor is a convenient adjunct to – but
not a substitute for – codes and other standards.
Chapters include safety, explanation of the WPS and PQR, and illustrative forms. Chapters 4 through 8 illustrate process and procedural variables, noting when
the variable requires requalification in general (Q), when toughness testing is used (T), and/or when automatic welding is used (A).
Chapter 9 provides terms and definitions (with drawings) from AWS 3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions, applicable to procedure qualification
or from the five codes covered in the Advisor. Writer/compiler Kenneth W. Coryell is an AWS technical volunteer, instructor, and successful Ohio-based

Welding of Aluminum
If you need X-ray-quality aluminum welds, then you need this title in The Practical
Reference Guide series, written by Bob Schneider, Jr., author of “The Eagle Has
Landed…with a Little Help from Welding.” This crisp, succinct publication gives
engineers, designers, and technicians step-by-step directions in proper use of cleaning
tools, assembling, and welding procedures. The premise is that cleanliness leads to
highest quality. Here’s an example: “Abrupt changes in weld bead height such as the
termination of a weld bead over a previous weld pass should be sloped by grinding
