Abstract
The new definition of weldability implies that it is a property of material, which is determined by the degree of degradation and can be evaluated as an integrated indicator. Examples of degradation of some materials characterising their weldability are given. Premises for development of a modern concept of weldability in terms of its control are considered.
Keywords: weldability, evaluation of weldability, joinability, weldability criterion, control, degradation
