IIW INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS 2008 (IIW IC 2008) 'TECHNOLOGICAL AND MATERIAL CHALLENGES IN WELDING, FABRICATION AND INSPECTION' 8-10 JANUARY 2008 CHENNAI - INDIA

摘要

The theme of IIW IC 2008 is "Technological and Material Challenges in Welding, Fabrication and Inspection". The topic has been carefully chosen considering that the welding industry in India is poised for a vibrant change due to the need to introduce high productivity welding processes, cost effective designs and reliable quality control methods. Newer materials ranging from variations of existing metallic materials to ceramics and composites to nano-materials and others, which widely differ in their physical and mechanical properties, are being introduced for industrial use for extended life of the components. The welding of these materials poses technological challenges in welding fabrication, leading to development of superior welding processes and quality assurance criteria. The objective of the IIW-IC 2008 is to provide a dynamic forum of professionals for Industries, Academia and Research Institutes to share and enhance the knowledge base in Welding Science and Technology, and use the forum for fulfilling the missions of their organisations.
