Welding engineer books

[cardin]

Hi,

I am looking for a list of books that are needed for the IWE (IWT) course. I can only find a few possible books, but i would like to buy a whole package complete so i can start study on my own before i will sign myself in to a IWE (IWT) course, i prefer IWE but if a IWE list is available i would like to receive it. I don't want the books to download but be able to buy the correct syllabus. Only found 1 organisation where i can by the IWE course package as a set, but that is in Dutch.

Being a dutch welding engineer, I can probably help you with the dutch and french course package.
There aren't really any books necessary for the course (there are elaborate course documents), but you'll probably want to get some afterwards.

There's always lippold and kotecki for stainless steels, everything by Blodgett, some dutch (and translated in english) books by den Ouden, references by several filler metal suppliers (lincolnelectric.com and their documentation centrum, ....),
depending on your applications, you'll want to read up on metallurgy, construction, country codes and standards, PED, ASME, eurocodes, offshore legislation, ...

and take a look at this thread as well:

Thank you for Your prompt reply, that is very helpfull. Wondering a bit on what i would receive for 600,-- euro's when i order a course package on NIL.nl, but that not the point.
I need it for hydropower applications and PED so i will take a look at that part. Worked quite a lot with Welding, but never had a course on the subject. Now i want to read myself in and follow a course on this later on. It is in my opinion an underestimated / underexposed subject during my engineering study.

latest IWE/IWT courses over here used the SLV Duisburg course package, a german training institute but everything is in english.
The whole course is one big pdf (over 1000 pages), and covers the 4 main blocks.

If you know someone that currently follows the course... check hetlasforum as well, someone there might be able to point you towards the right direction.

Ok, thank you. Will do that. Heard about SLV, but did not know that they did the course in English.
