The book on ‘ Welding Skills and Techniques’ was originally published in 1988 covering different methods for welding of rails, details of speci?c techniques and quality control aspects, The book was very popular amongst ?eld engineers. During this intervening period, some of the rail Welding methods and speci?c techniques have undergone major changes.

Apart from dealing with the basics of these methods, it covers process details, quality control and new developments, It is hoped that the book will enable Railway Engineers to improve their understanding of rail Welding.
