如何处理低碳低合金钢，使其表现出高屈服强度、良好的延展性和缺口韧性等理想特性？保护金属电弧、气体保护金属电弧、药芯焊丝电弧和埋弧焊的优点/局限性是什么？这是《实用参考指南》系列中的最新条目，它给出了答案。大约一半的篇幅讨论了钢在焊接热环境和机械环境中的行为。本常识指南使难以焊接的项目可焊接。《电弧焊接钢实用参考指南》有着结构良好的描述、解释和插图，在范围和深度上完全符合日常袖珍手册和AWS推荐做法。SCWI的编译器尤金·霍恩伯格（Eugene Hornberger）拥有20年的CWI考生教学经验，并为美国一些最大的制造商提供私人培训。 包括沉积速率附录。

How can low-carbon, low-alloy steels be treated to exhibit desirable traits such as very high yield strength, good ductility, and notch toughness? What are the advantages/limitations of shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, flux cored arc, and submerged arc welding? This newest entry in the Practical Reference Guide series has the answers. Roughly half of its pages discuss behavior of steels in a weld's thermal and mechanical environment. This common-sense guide makes hard-to-weld items weldable. With its well-structured descriptions, explanations, and illustrations, The Practical Reference Guide to Arc Welding Steel fits neatly between Everyday Pocket Handbooks and AWS Recommended Practices in scope and depth. Compiler Eugene Hornberger, SCWI, has 20 years of instructional experience with CWI exam candidates and private training for some of America's largest manufacturers. Includes a deposition-rate appendix.
