Sustainability of Fusion and Solid-State Welding Process in the Era of Industry 4.0

Abstract

Manufacturing is considered as the heart of any industrialized developed nation. Welding and joining, being a part of manufacturing activity, contributes a large for the country's long-term growth. In order to sustain in the global competitive environments, welding industries nowadays continue to strive hard for finding new ways do the same function either by mimics from existing product or adopting the concept from nature. This includes not only the cost and energy saving, waste minimization, optimal parameters, and eco-friendly but also with the advent newer computer technologies like smart factories or factories of the V.
