The aim of Welding in the World is to advance the science and technology of welding and joining by publishing authoritative papers on all aspects of materials joining, such as:

• advances in joining processes including welding, brazing, soldering, cutting, thermal spraying and allied joining and fabrication techniques
• additive manufacturing
• metallurgical and materials interactions associated with joining
• engineering properties and assessment of joints
• automation and sensor technology
• modeling and simulation
• welding physics
• application of artificial intelligence to materials joining
• health, safety and environmental aspects of joining
• industrial applications

To perform this activity the IIW relies upon the outstanding work of the Editors-in-Chief of the journal:

• Majid Farajian (Chair), Gesellschaft fuer Schweisstechnik International GSI SLV, Duisburg Germany
• Norbert Enzinger, Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria
• Thomas Kannengiesser, Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, BAM, Berlin, Germany
• Americo Scotti, Federal University of Uberlândia, Uberlândia – MG, Brazil

and of a distinguished Editorial Board.
