Состояние и перспективы развития исследований в области сварки в Латинской Америке на примере Бразилии

Abstract

In this paper an overview of the research on welding capability and potentiality in Brazil is presented. Through a comparison with steel and shielding gas consumptions the potential for an increasing demand for research on welding is established. The capability and tradition on this matter is discussed. Statistics shows that the investment carried out on research is increasing faster than price inflation and welding product spending. It is described a survey of the number of Brazilian groups research and the main subjects under study, and is presented as an example the activities and infrastructure of one of the Brazilian groups.
