“Seminar on the New Technique and Application of Fusion Welding” 
Will be Held in WuXi Soon

Modern welding technique is developing along the direction of “high-efficiency, high-quality, low-cost and low-consumption”. In recent years, welding workers at home and aboard have been working hard to investigate the new technique, new equipment, new technology and new materials of fusion welding and have achieved a remarkable success. Fusion Welding Procedure & Equipment Committee of CWS, CAW, Metal Weldability & Welding Consumable Committee of CWS together with Pipeline Welding Committee of CWA has reached an agreement to hold this “Seminar on the New Technique and Application of Fusion Welding” in Wuxi, Jiangsu province on November 24-25, 2003 (before the 8th International Welding &Cutting Fair). 
Committees under the leadership of China Welding Society (CWS) and China Welding Association (CWA) co-organize this seminar with the purpose of creating a space for the welding workers to exchange their research results and popularize the experience of applying them to practice. Sponsors of this seminar sincerely wish that welding workers would cherish this opportunity and actively take part in it.
