Abstract
In this paper, a trend of welding technologies in design and manufacture of steel structures, such as ships and bridges, is reviewed. Further, the recent advance in welding atomization and application of new welding processes, such as laser and friction stir welding, in the Japanese industries is presented
Keywords: welded structure, shipbuilding, bridge, laser welding, friction stir welding
