Advancement of Welding Technology In the World

The welding technology must fit to the purpose of each construction. The includes a careful understanding of demands, the adapted materials and their behaviour subjected to welding. The manufacturing is very essential too. The education of welding and control personnel will change. The integration of robotics, sensing and automation in the production makes the role of personnel and their responsibility very different. The paper tries to give the state of the art and an estimation for this and possibly the next decade(Fig. 1)
