What is Welding Engineering?
WELDING = JOINING = ENGINEER
Welding Engineering is concerned with all aspects/phases of joining that lead to manufacture of product,
Common industry problems in Welding Engineering include
- Lack of knowledge documenting welding procedure
- Reliance on a third party companies to manage the process, but this third party does not take responsibility
