Winner of more than 60 editorial and design awards, including the 1999 Florida Magazine Association award for "Best In-Depth Reporting".

Some of the most active and influential buyers in industry
WJ readers have a long-term commitment to welding and metalworking: The average Welding Journal reader has been in the welding and metalworking industry for 14 years, and 62% have been in the industry for more than 15 years

89 Years as the Authority
in Metal Fabrication

We Were There through
Thick and Thin

The Welding Journal has been published continually since 1922 - an unmatched 83-year link to all types of metal fabrication and construction. We were publishing when welding was in its infancy, and we provided first-hand reporting of every technological development since. Our author list reads like a Who’s Who in metal joining, and our articles are revered throughout the world for their technical depth and accuracy. There are many newcomers to the field of weld fabrication, but there is only one magazine that has seen it all. We’re the one you can count on.

Each month the WELDING JOURNAL delivers news of the welding and metal fabricating industry. Stay informed on the latest products, trends, technology and events via in-depth articles, full-color photos and illustrations, and timely, cost-saving advice. Also featured are articles and supplements on related activities, such as testing and inspection, maintenance and repair, design, training, personal safety and brazing and soldering.

An AWS membership benefit, the award-winning Welding Journal is also available through an annual subscription of 12 issues.
