The evolution of recent technological advances in welding processes, equipment, consumables, automation and overall system integration has resulted in new directions of welding technology to satisfy the demands of fabrication industries. The National Welding Seminar (NWS 2015), which is to be held in the beginning of New Year 2015 at Jamshedpur during January 22-24, is expected to focus the trends in development of welding technology through keynote addresses and invited talks delivered by some of the most renowned experts from India and abroad. Also the exhibitions will provide the latest welding technologies by leading equipment and electrode manufactures. This will be a great opportunity for all HW-India members to get exposed to the new developments taken place at different aspects of welding technology over the years. We expect NWS 2015 to be a very grand success.
