Materials are the mainstay of all Science, Engineering and Technology related activities which have been serving the society by improving - directly and indirectly - their living comforts and safety standards. The Development of materials science allowed designing materials - especially metal alloys - and provided a knowledge base for the engineering applications (Materials Engineering), mainly strength. However, the choice of a particular material for the development of a product essentially depends on critical understanding of its behavior by the application / design engineers. When welding is involved, which is almost always the case in any product made, that 'expected mechanical behavior' for which the material was chosen, just goes haywire, due to the metallurgical and mechanical interactions with the welding process.
Welding is a 360° in 3-dimesional space Technology considering its applications. It is needed everywhere with varying applications and criticality. One thing common in all welding applications, other than the spelling, is the aspect of quality issues arising while manufacturing.

This programme will be conducted by Mr. Vijay Agwan.
Mr. Vijay Agwan is an industry expert with over 46 years of experience in the field of welding activities related to research, development, equipment manufacturing. Quality Control , Contract Manufacturing and Training. He holds a Master degree in Production Science & Technology degree from IIT-Kharagpur & an IWE (ISO:14731) Diploma. He is a qualified Welding Professional and a free-lance consultant for in-house group companies and several other industries for training and problem solving. He has also given his services as a Regional Director (West) to Indian Institute of Welding-ANB for promoting the Welding Education among users, and ISO Certification of Individuals and Industries.
