Trends in Materials, Welding and Cutting

During the 1980s there was rapid development in the field of welding and cutting. The MIG/MAG method became firmly established and overtook welding with covered electrodes; lasers began to be used for both cutting and welding, and tubular wire made its breakthrough. The 1990s are unlikely to see such major changes in welding and cutting technology; instead, the developments and trends that can be seen today will remain with us for some time to come.

Abstract


During the 1980s there was rapid development in the field of welding and cutting. The MIG/MAG method became firmly established and overtook welding with covered electrodes; lasers began to be used for both cutting and welding, and tubular wire made its breakthrough. The 1990s are unlikely to see such major changes in welding and cutting technology; instead, the developments and trends that can be seen today will remain with us for some time to come.
