The Indian Institute of Welding is a professional body
devoted to the promotion and advancement of welding
science and technology in India. Established in 1966,
with its registered office at Kolkata, it has eleven
branches located at Bangalore, Baroda, Bhilai, Chennai, Cochin, Delhi,
Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Tiruchirapalli and Vishakapatnam. IIW has
over 4000 welding professionals and more than 300 industries as members.
The objectives of IIW include dissemination of knowledge and the latest
developments in the field of welding and allied technologies through
seminars, workshops, training programmes etc. Provide technical guidance
and consultation to industries in welding; conduct associate membership
examination and award diploma and certificates to members, and publish
technical journals and periodicals in the field of welding.
The Indian Institute of Welding will soon be accorded the status of an
Authorised National Body (ANB) for training and certification of welding
professionals by the International Institute of Welding.
Recognising the rapid pace of industrial growth in India, the International
Institute of Welding has allotted its prestigious International Congress for
2008 to the Indian Institute of Welding. Considering the wide ranging
fabrication activities in South India, particularly in Chennai, the Indian
Institute of Welding has allotted its Chennai Branch the responsibility to
organise this Congress.
The Chennai Branch of IIW, formed in 1973, has made good progress over
the years with respect to membership, technical programmes etc, due to the
unstinted support of industries in the region and selfless efforts of various
members and office bearers. Today the Branch has over 300 members and
20 Industrial Corporate members. It organizes technical meetings every
month, courses and seminars of topical interest and visits to important
projects. With our country in the midst of a quantum leap to industrialization,
the Branch hopes to contribute effectively towards improved productivity,
cost effectiveness and quality enhancement to the welding fraternity in
particular and industries in general. The Chennai Branch constantly audits
its position and develops strategic plans to meet the latest objectives of our
Country's development. The National Welding Seminar provides a forum for
the Branch to meet such ends.

A non - profit organization, the International Institute of Welding (IIW) was
originally created by a group of industrialists, scientists and researchers
from thirteen different countries to promote innovation and best joining
practices the world over. Their idea was to provide a global platform for the
exchange and diffusion of evolving welding technologies and applications.
Founded in 1948, IIW boasts nearly fifty member countries today. The
organization is driven by the combined synergy of thousands of experts who
conduct and participate in IIW technical meetings, international congresses,
assemblies and themed conferences. They also contribute articles and
publications to share and compare their latest findings and actively further
excellence in our field.
In 1986, IIW was selected as one of the world's three official International
Standardizing Bodies in the areas of welding and
joining. Since the date, the organization, together
with the practical input of industry leaders, has
published eighteen international welding
standards under the auspices of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO). The
standards programme covers materials, test
methods, best practices, new technologies,
health and safety matters, environmental issues
and management. With the qualification of
welding personnel now mandatory for
manufacturers everywhere, IIW has established a requirements system for
the proper education, training, qualification and certification of welding
professionals, from engineers and technologists to on-site practitioners.
These standards enable countries to shape qualified, world-class
professionals locally, thus making welding one of the only professions to
have uniform requirements around the world.
IIW's virtual library constitutes the world's largest online source of welding
information available today. Members can consult and share technical
documents, white papers, publications, articles and original doctoral theses
not found elsewhere… comprising a database of roughly 20,000 documents,
of which more than 1,000 may be downloaded from the IIW web site. And for
in-print access to the latest, most significant findings of researchers and
practitioners from around the globe in brief, the
IIW journal, “Welding in the World”, is published
six times yearly and may also be consulted
online.
The International Institute of Welding celebrates
its 60th anniversary of its formation in 2008. A
grand gala celebration is planned at the Opening
Ceremony of the IIW International Congress
2008. This will include release of a Monograph
on the Current Trends in Welding Science and
Technology in India, besides many other events.

| The Theme of the Congress : Technological and Material Challenges in Welding, Fabrication and Inspection |
The structured liberalisation of the Indian economy, which has paved
the way for globalisation of our industry, has had its impact on
core sectors such as power, steel, oil, gas, petro-chemical and
transportation. Hence, there is an imperative need for the
manufacturers to maximise profits without compromising on quality
and by lowering manufacturing time and costs.
Since welding is the most widely used engineering manufacturing
process, the welding industry is also poised for a vibrant change due
to the need to introduce high productivity welding processes, cost
effective designs and reliable quality control methods. Also, newer
materials ranging from variations of existing metallic materials to
ceramics and composites to nano-materials and others, which
widely differ in their physical and mechanical properties, are being
introduced for industrial use for extended life of the components.
The welding of these materials poses technological challenges in
welding fabrication, leading to development of superior welding
processes and quality assurance criteria. Also, the need to sustain
trained manpower has become a key factor to maintain the
competitive edge. Further, the role of information technology and
the need to develop high quality products based on research-industry
co-ordination cannot be overlooked.
The objective of the IIW - IC 2008 is to provide a dynamic forum of
professionals for Industries, Academia and Research institutes to
share and enhance the knowledge base in Welding Science and
Technology, and use the forum for fulfilling the missions of their
organisations.
