Welding, Soldering and Riveting
Processing Steel for Construction
With this book, we want to show you how you can make or repair your own metal work-pieces. Needless to say, appropriate basic theoretical and practical knowledge is required, as well as suitable preparation.
A brief introduction to metal as a working material
Measurements and dimensions
Machining (separating) and metal cutting (shaping) techniques, such as sawing, drilling, cutting threads and filing
Connecting metal pieces using screws, rivets and solder joints
Connecting metal pieces by welding (electrode hand welding, MIG, MAG, WIG)
All these techniques are explained in detail using constructional steel, and supplemented with practical exercises. Most of the techniques are also applicable for non-ferrous metals - details are given in the text.
The main focus, however, is on welding, since there are almost no other methods that can compete with welding when it comes to reliability and durability, or that are more suitable for garden and landscape construction.
