Welding and Joining Processes Technical Group

Welding and joining are essential to engineering and manufacturing, helping to produce everything from everyday products to major structures and industrial equipment. The quality of these processes is vital to the safety, reliability and performance of the finished product.

The Welding & Joining Processes Technical Group covers a wide range of joining technologies, including arc, power beam, resistance and solid-phase welding, as well as brazing, soldering and adhesive bonding. Its events explore how these processes are used across industry and consider developments in technology, equipment and materials.

The group brings together engineers, researchers and industry professionals to share knowledge, discuss practical challenges and learn from experience across different sectors. Its activities encourage the exchange of ideas and support the continued development of welding and joining practice.
