  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

Joining and welding is an essential component of manufacturing technology. New developments in joining and welding are evolved in order to acquire extraordinary benefits such as unique joint properties, synergistic mix of materials, cost reduction of component, increase productivity and quality, complex geometrical configurations, suitability and selection of material to manufacture new products. This chapter provides an update on recent developments of welding and joining to showcase above benefits. Theoretical background, process parameters, novel aspects, process capabilities, and process variants along with its application are presented in this chapter. Advanced welding and joining techniques are addressed under different headings of fastening and bonding processes, developments of arc welding processes, advanced beam welding techniques, sustainable welding processes, micro-nano joining and hybrid welding.
