IWS 2K12

T
he organizers together conducted successfully the symposiums at Hyderabad in 2003 & 2005, at New Delhi in 2008 & at Mumbai in 2010. The Concurrent events, the Welding & Cutting show and the International Welding Symposium are very well received by the industry. In the last 2010 edition, more than 270 countries from 22 countries participated. Over 6100 visitors from 29 Countries attended the exhibition more than 100 technical peoples were presented in the Symposium which as attended by more than 400 delegates from all over the globe. This 2012 event will usher new opportunities for industry which seeks a positive growth than many countries in the world. India also remained on a course of strong growth in the 2010/11 financial year (31 March 1 April). The gross domestic product rose by 8.6%. Of the major economies in the world, India therefore expanded the most after China. Analysts are expecting a GDP between 7.5 and 8% as well as foreign investments worth billions for 2011/12. The rapid growth of the Indian economy is reflected in a host of projects, above all in the transport infrastructure and in the expansion of the power supply and tele communications network. Machine and plant construction is benefiting from lively investment activity in the chemicals branch, the steel industry and in the building materials sector. India remains a highly attractive market for suppliers of joining, cutting and surfacing technology. More advanced materials have been developed to meet the demanding requirements of the industries. Lot of interests is seen on super alloys developments for the space and aviation industries. Super martensitic stainless steels are finding applications in oil and gas projects for the line pipes. More advanced ferritic- martensitic Chromium Molybedenum steels and Nickel based materials and alloys are the candidate materials for the super critical and ultra super critical boilers in power sector. The technology of fabrication calls for different degree of controls in the manufacturing processes. Welding of the new generation material will be a challenge for the welding technologists. At the same time, this also open up broader avenues in process development, consumable development and welding equipments technology with new features and facilities for the enhanced productivity of the industry. The cycle time of projects needed is shrinking day by day, since today's customers are not willing to accept the longer lead time. This makes the technologists, manufacturers, suppliers, erection / installation groups, O&M personnel to look for more productive methods in materials joining. The seminar on the theme Vision for Welding & Fabrication Industry will unfold the new technologies in the materials development, welding front and material characterisation.
