70th IIW Annual Assembly held in Shanghai in June 2017

摘要

Keen participation by large numbers of local engineers, researchers and students epitomised the 70th International Institute of Welding (IIW) Annual Assembly and International Conference and was the foundation of its success in terms of both numbers of attendees and opportunities for technology diffusion. The events were held in Shanghai, China on 25 to 30 June 2017, well organised and hosted by the Chinese Welding Society (CWS). With a population of over 24 million, Shanghai is regarded as the 'showpiece' of the booming economy of mainland China - a fitting environment for this gathering of international experts in all aspects of welding technology and innovation - from automation to micro-joining.
