Fay's Ultimate Library

Welding and Fabricating Data Book
Issued by editors of Welding Design & Fabrication; 1994
Includes charts and illustrations

This book contains chapters on engineering data, AWS (American Welding Society) filler metal selection and product selector and source guide, manufacturers catalogs and advertisements.

It’s a very helpful book for understanding AWS system of filler rods. It covers information that a fabricator would use in a quick reference, easy to read format.

Currently out of print; however, it's a good general reference and worth picking up if you can find it used.
