Editorial

We have just completed one year of publication of our journal in technical association with the American Welding Society and from the feedback I keep on receiving from various quarters, the readers are immensely benefited through the key articles featured in the AWS section of each issue of the journal. Moreover, this co-operation has also helped us to make our journal financially viable and as we enter the second year of co-operative publication we can surely look forward to further improvement in the quality, content and also an increased readership .1 invite the valueable suggestions of our readers in this respect.
