SVP «Ekotekhnologiya», Kiev, Ukraine

Abstract
Generalizing information is given on a number of design developments in the field of underwater welding and cutting, performed at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute since 1966. An attempt has been made to evaluate them from the user's viewpoint.
Keywords: wet welding, flux-cored wires, semi-automatic machine, coated electrode, oxygen-arc cutting, arc cutting, plasma cutting
