Technical Information and ResourcesWelding JournalThe award-winning Welding Journal offers feature articles, late-breakingnews, stainless steel, brazing, automation, Washington, and Web sitecolumns, new product and literature spotlights, company and personnelmaneuvers and advancement, and peer-reviewed R&D reports. The WeldingJournal is read by more people around the world than any other weldingand related joining processes publication and has won more than 65 awardsfor editorial and design excellence.

Inspection TrendsInspection Trends was launched specifically for AWS-certified professionalsdealing with all facets of nondestructive examination. The magazines goal,to enhance job performance for those whose responsibility is quality assur-ance, is accomplished through quarterly reports. Covers new technology,trends, issues, safety, and basic methods in quarterly editions.

StandardsAWS is recognized worldwide as the impartial forum for the development ofconsensus-based American National Standards for welding. Over 170 stan-dards as codes, recommended practices, guides, and specifications areled by AWS flagship standard, the Structural Welding CodeSteel. Even aquick review of this catalog shows the breadth of coverage that only anestablished and respected organization such as AWS can provide.

Best-of-Industry Books and ManualsAWS not only publishes single-author publications such as the renownedWelding Metallurgy, but also supports the publication of the singularWelding Handbook and the AWS-18th edition of Jeffersons WeldingEncyclopedia. Dedicated to improving the environment of welding, AWSensures the timely dissemination of safety documents, including one of themost relied on in the U.S., Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting and AlliedProcesses. New AWS series for the serious welding professional include TheProfessionals Advisors and The Practical Reference Guides.

Online Access, Telephone Services and Global ReachThe AWS Web site www.aws.org is used by literally thousands of Membersand visitors each month. Within a secure environment, memberships can berenewed, books and standards selected, classifieds perused, calendars checked,and questions asked and answered in real time. In addition, the entire AWSWelding Show can be toured, free safety fact sheets can be downloaded, andmore the activities are extensive and continue to grow.

TELEWELD is a service offered only by AWS. When you buy an AWS -pub-lished ANSI standard, youve also purchased TELEWELD. Members can call800-443-WELD Ext. 320 toll free between 8:30 AM and 5 PM EST for informalanswers to questions about AWS standards. Formal inquiries must be in writing.

Professional DevelopmentRecognized experts are secured for AWS-sponsored conferences and semi-nars held at convenient, affordable sites around the U.S. As with all AWSproducts and services, Members are entitled to a substantial discount. AWSprograms have earned an unprecedented 97 percent Excellent-Good ratingfrom attendees. These programs are efficient venues to keep employees atthe cutting edge and at their most productive.

Certified Proficiency ProgramsAWS widely recognized certification programs ensure that inspectors, edu-cators, and welders can perform to an industry-standardized level. Toachieve this AWS mark of excellence, applicants face a rigorous review ofcredentials as well as examinations and hands-on trials. More than 47,000professionals have discovered the personal advantages of becoming AWS-certified and their employers have reaped the competitive edge this desig-nation brings to QA and QC efforts. Members are entitled to substantial sav-ings on application and examination fees.

Networking and Intelligence GatheringThe AWS Welding Show, International Exposition and Annual Conventionbrings more than 25,000 professionals together in what has been describedas the convergence of a $40 billion industry. This mega-event featureshundreds of exhibitors with their helpful technical representatives, anddozens of seminars, roundtables, lectures, and special events. In addition,one of the worlds largest gatherings of researchers convenes during theAWS Convention, constituting its Professional Program. If you value beingin the know, if you want your team instructed, invigorated, and innovative,this is one event your company cant afford to miss.

Serving on an AWS CommitteeOver 1,400 professionals currently serve on more than 200 technical com-mittees dedicated to the development of consensus standards under therules of ANSI. Having your key personnel literally in the thick of informationthat will transform into standards used by thousands of companies both inthe U.S. and overseas is an easily understood advantage. AWS is accredit-ed by ANSI to publish American National Standards on welding. AWS admin-isters the U.S. technical advisory groups (TAGs) to ISO/TC 44, Welding andAllied Processes, and most of the ISO/TC 44 subcommittees, as well as beingthe Authorized National Body (ANB) to the International Institute ofWelding (IIW). AWS also holds the secretariats of three ISO/TC 44 subcom-mittees and a number of working groups.

You can be a part of this influence on national and international standardsby supporting participation on an AWS committee or TAG, or by enlistingin the AWS-sponsored American Council of IIW, an important and presti-gious body.

Local Opportunities through AWS SectionsEvery AWS Membership includes an affiliation with a Section (you or yourteam get to choose which one). Most Sections meet monthly, offering top-notch speakers or technical tours, and are always enhanced with opportuni-ties to make new professional contacts.

Monitoring and Control ofWelding and Joining ProcessesDemands for increased productivity and improvedquality have been the impetus for real-time processmonitoring and control.

This publi-cation discusses principles behind process sensing,monitoring, and control. The application of sensors,monitors, and process controls are then described insections covering the arc, resistance, laser beam, elec-tron beam, friction welding, and brazing processes. 33pages, 6 tables, 19 figures. 8-1/2" x 11", softbound,published in 2001.ARE-10. $48.00AWS Members.. $36.00Web Order Code: ARE-10
