Computerized welding process selection and parameter determination

Welding is a materials joining process in which two or more parts are coalesced at their contacting surfaces by a suitable application of heat and/or pressure. In today technology, welding is an important process in manufacture and assembly project. There is a need for welding expertise to get the b...
