UK welding standards must improve
The authors of this article who have a combined 90-years of experience as welding engineers argue that welding engineering, in all its aspects, has fast become a forgotten and disrespected science and technology, to the detriment of the performance of welded structures produced by the United Kingdom welding fabrication industry resulting in a potential danger to health and safety.
