25 Years of IIW Looking Back and Looking Forward

Abstract

The professional aclivitics of Welding Engineers in India started ahead of the formation of IIW, thanks to the encouragement given by Indian Standards Institution (now, BIS) and particularly by its the then Director, Mr. B. S. Krishnamachar. One of the earliest gatherings of Welding Engineers, was the Ninth IS I convention held at Bangalore during 1965 and it had an exclusive session on "The Standardisation In The Field Of Welding".
