 About The Indian Institute of Welding (IIW-India)

The Indian Institute of Welding (IIW-India) is a professional

body devoted to the promotion and advancement of welding
science and technology. It was established on 22 April 1966
nd

with its head office at Kolkata. It has 13 branches all over India.
It has about 4500 members and over 300 industries as
Industrial Corporate Members.
IIW-India publishes Indian Welding Journal which has technical
research papers of high standards. IIW-India is member of the
International Institute of Welding and has acquired the status
of Authorised Nominated Body (ANB) and Authorized
Nominated Body for Company Certification (ANBCC) to certify
companies as per ISO 3834. ANB is authorized to award
internationally accredited professional certificates such as
IWE & IWT.
IIW-India also conducts its own welder certification
programme, under National Welding Training and Certification
Scheme (NWTCS). Directorate General of Training (DGT),
under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship
(Government of India), has empanelled IIW-India as an
'Assessing Body' for MES courses under the Skill
Development Initiative (SDI) Scheme for welding courses
under Fabrication Sectors in all States and Union Territories in
India. Similarly, IIW-India is also empaneled by NSDC as the
'Assessing Body' for certification of welders under PMKVY and
other schemes under various Sector Skill Councils.

About the IIW-India, Jamshedpur

IIW-India, Jamshedpur branch was inaugurated in the year

1983. Since then, the branch has provided support to local
industries by providing volunteered consultancy and
conducting training, refresher courses and skill development
programs for welders, welding supervisors and operators. The
branch is actively engaged in knowledge dissemination and
information upgradation of welding professionals by holding
workshops and lectures regularly on topics related to
manufacturing and fabrication. The annual events of the
branch include a major seminar, welder refresher course, and
welder skill competition. Efforts are on to offer services to
local SMEs on welding system certification as per ISO 3834.
 About the conference

Corrosion, wear and tribological losses accounts for at least 5 % of the annual GDP loss in most countries. In
this context, application of suitable cladding that forms the metallurgical bond with the substrate has huge
potential to enhance the functionalities including wear and abrasion resistance, high-temperature corrosion
and oxidation resistance, reduce frictional losses, improve biocompatibility, etc. In the recent times, there
has been significant development in both the processing aspects of different cladding technologies
including laser cladding, plasma transferred arc cladding, arc-based hard-facing as well as development of
novel and superior feedstocks for enhanced performance of the critical components. Different industries
including mining and metals, oil and gas, nuclear and biomedical sectors can benefit from these
developments.

Topics to be covered

Original research works, case studies and critical

reviews are invited on the following topics:
Laser cladding processing
• Plasma transferred arc cladding
• Flux cored arc cladding
• MIG and TIG cladding
• Micro plasma transferred arc and micro laser
cladding
• High efficiency cladding
• High speed laser cladding
• Industry 4.0 in different cladding technologies
• Artificial Intelligence in cladding
• New Alloy developments (powders and wires) for
cladding
• Failure analysis of cladding
• Numerical modelling and simulations of claddings
• Case studies on improved productivity through
application of cladding
• Microstructure-property-performance correlations
for claddings
• Claddings for high temperature and other extreme
applications
• Economics of Cladding
• Mechanical & Corossion properties evaluation of
the cladded samples
 Invitation to authors

Authors are invited to submit the abstract on different

aspects of cladding. Both fundamental and applied
aspects of cladding alloys and technologies are
invited from the faculties, students including
research scholars, researchers, scientists and
practicing engineers. Participants will benefit from
the opportunity to present their works, get valuable
feedback from the experts and will have the special
provision to network for their future research and
development.

Guidelines for abstract submission

The names, complete postal address, e-mail

address and telephone & fax numbers of the
authors should be typed below the title in the
abstract.
