Industry experts contribute significantly to the work of the various Technical WUs and the development of IIW resources, and provide a critical link to ensure IIW’s responsiveness to industry needs.

BOOKS, E-BOOKS AND FREE CONTENT

Tangible Benefits for Industry Welding Engineer Joe Bailey said ' Vermeer Corporation , USA has benefited greatly from the wealth of fatigue knowledge that IIWand specifically Commission XIII Fatigue of Welded Components and Structures has exposed me to. Participating in the Annual Assemblies and Commission work has not only increased my knowledge but has also exposed me to valuable connections and resources on fatigue design principles and studies. For example, in a recent equipment redesign, Vermeer engineers were able to use these principles to add 25% to the payload capacity and increase the predicted fatigue life while still maintaining very stringent frame weight requirements.'

IIW books and e-books cover various topics including metallurgy, fatigue, design, non-destructive testing and welding terminology. A range of best practice statements has also been developed by IIW Technical WUs for industry in areas including:

non-destructive testing techniques work health, safety and environment behaviour of metals subject to welding

weldability of stainless steels and nickel-base alloys design, analysis and fabrication of welded structures

quality management terminology guides.

INDUSTRY AND END USERS

IIW expertise also delivers guidance to industry through products such as: reference radiographs for assessment of weld imperfections carbon equivalent formula statement on manganese in relation to work health and safety.

Recognised Best Practices and Guidelines

Dr Prabu Manoharan , one of the 2011 IIW Granjon Prize winners, is currently a Project Manager at the Institut de Soudure Groupe (France) after having completed his education in India and France. ‘Our engineers consult the IIW Guidelines

and Recommendations on fatigue strength andmore generally on design of welding structures complied by IIWWorkingUnits. They provide sources of accurate and reliable information for daily use. These simple and easy to refer to documents are just what is needed in today’s industry and IIW is doing excellent work in providing such expert information. I believe this is the best way for IIW to be servicing end users.’
