      <title>WELDING IN CONFINED SPACES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/67175</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article is based on a paper presented to Commission VIII of the International Institute of Welding, dealing with the risks due to oxygen deficiency or excess when welding in confined spaces.  Although almost all such accidents result in fatal or serious injuries, there is still a lack of knowledge among welders as to why these accidents happen. The safety rules that should be observed are enumerated.]]></description>

      <title>PREVENTING DELAYED CRACKS IN SHIP WELDS (PART I)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/64158</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Delayed cracking is a continuing problem in ship steel weldments.  However, with proper precautions, this type of cracking can be prevented.  This document presents, in a simplified and condensed form, the causes of delayed cracking and the necessary preventive procedures.  It is intended that this document will be used by shipyard personnel that do not have a technical background.  Thus, detailed technical explanations are avoided.]]></description>

      <title>PREVENTING DELAYED CRACKS IN SHIP WELDS (PART II)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/64159</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report discusses the causes of delayed cracking in ship steel welds and presents the steps necessary to prevent delayed cracking.  Three factors, acting together, are responsible for the formation of delayed cracks: hydrogen dissolved in the weld, a hard microstructure in the weld or heat-affected zone, and high stresses in the weld joint. Each step that is taken to prevent delayed cracks has the purpose of eliminating or significantly reducing at least one of these factors.]]></description>

      <title>BASIC WELDING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/43332</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The manual deals exclusively with electric arc welding and begins by providing a glossary of welding terms.  A general description of the welding process and the equipment leads into a detailed step by step explanation of the various pieces of welding equipment and their proper set-up and use. Diagrams and explanations cover the DC welding generator, cables, ground attachments, electrodes and electrode holders, striking an arc, breaking the arc and arc welding techniques.  Guidelines are provided regarding preparations for welding, running a weld, cleaning the equipment and general safety precautions.  The last part of the manual outlines eight separate welding projects to be completed by the student as shop training exercises.]]></description>
