Benefits
When you review all the benefits and savings you receive, you’ll quickly realize an AWS Individual Membership pays for itself many times over:

- Individual Members outside of North America - digital delivery is standard
- Optional Welding Journal Hard Copy for Members outside North America - $50 shipping fee
- Free bi-annual issues of Product Literature Review, Welding Marketplace, and quarterly issues of American Welder

- A huge benefit for AWS Members is the 25% discount on 300+ AWS technical publications. Choose from popular publications like the D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel. With your AWS member-only discount, you could save more than $130 on this publication alone... that's like getting almost two years of membership free!
