Abstract
The paper presents systematised comments of specialists of the Japan Welding Society on determination of the national priorities in the field of welding science and technology at the beginning of the XXI century. Considering the "technological saturation" of the majority of the welding processes, applied on a mass scale, the recommendations are to predominantly develop those technologies, that have a significant potential, in particular, an arc welding process - A-TIG, friction stir welding (FSW), laser and laser-hybrid technologies. The main scientific problem, namely weldability and nature of cracking, is still urgent. The determinant role of computer modelling in research, design and development of welded structures, technologies and welding consumables, has been established unambiguously
Keywords: welding, science, high technologies, welding production, research, priorities, Japan, XXI century
