Technological Challenges in Arc Welding & Cutting Processes

During the next decade or so there will not be any spectacular development of newer welding or cutting processes other than the processes emerging called "gluing or adhesives" which is being developed at various laboratories now. The emphasis however will be on step-by-step development of the existing processes to improve quality and productivity in general and to reduce the demands on skill levels of the welder. Therefore, the development will be seen in three segments.
