Description:
The welding processes relevant to the welding of aircraft materials
are briefly reviewed, together with those materials of present or future
interest for aircraft structures. The problems of design for welding are
also considered. It is concluded that the prospects for welding are more
premising in materials other than light alloys, which win be used for
high speed aircraft. In addition, further development of automatic welding
machines and large heat treatment facilities is needed.
