Abstract:

Underwater welding is became most advance and modern technique of welding in the recent years. It is rapidly used in various countries such as India, USA and UAE etc because these countries are organizing the biggest infrastructures in now days. This process is being used as a production tool also. This review presents techniques of underwater welding to assist the development in the field metals and their joining to each other. There are various techniques and method are available of UWW (underwater welding). The selection of heat source, available electrodes, equipments and their requirements, applications and other problems associated with underwater welding have been discussed in this paper. The advantages and future work which can be carried out in this technique is also described in this paper, so this technique can be more accurate and powerful in the area of metal construction and other working areas of welding.
