Welding in the World

The IIW allows for a global exchange of welding science and technology with experts from over 50 countries. Dr. Hochanadel will provide a summary of his experience on the American Council of IIW (ACIIW) which is sponsored by the American Welding Society and the 20+ Technical Commissions and Working Groups. Examples of science and technology exchanges and how IIW benefits welding in the United States will be provided.
