One topic per page, the drawing that shows you how it's done and the boxes with what you need to know:

These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 66 topics.
You've read the stick setup three times. You close your notes...
...and you can't remember where the work clamp goes or where the amperage comes from. It was just lines of text.
Here the stick station is one page, every piece drawn in place: the CC machine, the stinger, the work clamp, the rods and the rod oven, with amperage from the manufacturer's chart and polarity printed on the rod box.
And on the pages next to it, every process gets its own: MIG, flux core, TIG, the five basic joints and the bend test.
First you understand why it's set up that way. Then the setup comes back on its own.
The basics, safety, stick, MIG and flux core, TIG, joints, positions and symbols, defects and inspection, getting certified, and review and practice: 70 pages, all illustrated
Imagine this:
Instead of rereading half a page on polarity without being able to picture it...
...you open the page and find DCEP, DCEN and AC drawn side by side, with where the heat goes and which process uses each one.
And PPE, stick, MIG, TIG, weld symbols and the bend test turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop cramming and start understanding.
That's exactly what Welding Made Visual does. It's not “just another manual.” It's 70 pages in 9 parts: 51 illustrated topics, one per page, then 20 practice questions with explained answers, a final review of the numbers to know and a glossary. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
What welding is, the main processes, the welding circuit, power sources, DCEP, DCEN and AC polarity, and the metals you'll weld.
PPE from head to toe, choosing a lens shade, arc rays, fumes, fire and hot work, electric shock and gas cylinders.
Set up the stick station without guessing: read an electrode like E7018, keep low-hydrogen rods dry, strike the arc, use CLAMS and handle slag, restarts and craters.
How MIG works, the machine part by part, shielding gas, transfer modes, voltage, wire speed and stickout, push or drag, flux-cored wire and troubleshooting.
How TIG works, the torch, tungsten electrodes, DCEN or AC, two hands and a pedal, stainless steel and back purging.
The five basic joints, groove preps, fillet welds, positions from 1G to 6G, root, fill and cap, distortion and reading weld symbols.
See a defect and know its cause: porosity, cracks, incomplete fusion and penetration, undercut, overlap, slag and tungsten inclusions, nondestructive testing and the bend test.
Walk into the test knowing the steps: how welder certification works, WPS and PQR, the test plate and what happens on test day.
The numbers to know, a glossary, 20 practice questions in two sets and every answer explained.
At the end of the book: 20 practice questions with explained answers, the numbers to know and a glossary.
How to read the welding symbols on a fabrication blueprint: the arrow, the reference line, the weld symbols and the dimensions, with examples to read and the answers, so you know exactly which weld the print calls for.
Original practice questions on processes, filler metals, shielding gases, joints and positions, symbols, defects, inspection and safety, with every answer explained, so you know why it is right and what to review when you miss one.

For welding school and community college students, for anyone with a cert test coming up and for people who weld at home, on the farm or in maintenance and want a visual review. It starts from the basics. Check the table of contents above.
The American Welding Society terms, symbols and classifications (AWS A3.0, A2.4, A5.1, A5.18, A5.20 and A5.12), the AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code – Steel, and ANSI Z49.1 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Q for safety. Units are inches, psi and °F.
No. It's an independent study book. It isn't published by, affiliated with or endorsed by AWS, OSHA, ANSI or any certifying body, and it doesn't give you a certificate. You get certified by welding a test plate that an inspector or your employer evaluates; the book explains how that works and what they look for.
No. Welding is learned under the hood. The book explains what you're looking at; it doesn't replace your instructor, booth time, the WPS or your employer's procedures. It doesn't give you amperage or voltage numbers, on purpose: those come from your WPS and from your rod or wire manufacturer's chart. What the book shows is what each setting does and what changes in the bead when you move it.
No. The 20 questions in the book and the ones in Welding Practice Test are written for this book, not taken from any certification test. They help you check the theory: joints, positions, symbols and defects. Passing the plate takes practice under the hood.
Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF: print the whole book or just the pages you want to keep in the shop.
You have 30 days: if a file does not open, if the content is not what this page describes, if you were charged twice or the download never arrived, write to us and we refund you.
You don't have to reread the same page hoping it sticks this time.
You don't have to memorize codes and settings you can't picture.
And you definitely don't have to walk into the test not knowing where to start.
There's an easier way. And it's one click away. Now it's your turn.
