A great reference source, many's the hour I've spent happily reading it. They call it ASM Handbook now, and it runs to 34 volumes LINK . Pricy to buy new - $8990 for the set ($6750 for ASM members). You can buy individual volumes though, or buy second-hand for a great deal less. You may also find it in a library if you're lucky.


If I recall correctly, "Welding / Case Studies" was a source of some
of the curricula that the Alberta Journeyman's Structural Welding certification courses taught and tested on, back in the late 80's, and onward into the mid-90s. After mid 90's some "dilution" became evident.
