Abstract

Welding is very important in shipbuilding industry. In order to protect the ship structure, this process should be performed by the qualified welders and controlled efficiently by the quality control engineers and Classification Societies. All welders should have a certificate and the procedures should be prepared in the shipyards. There are several kinds of welding methods. In shipbuilding, the most common technique is electrical arc welding. With the developed technology in all areas, welding technology is improving with each passing day. Today, ceramic welding is much started to be used especially on the shell platings and block connections. This provides easiness for the welders and shortens the production period. The shipyards that intend to construct bigger vessels, build up production lines and use robots for welding in these lines. This increases quality, production capacity and decreases the planning times and production periods. In the scope of new technologies on welding, the importance of welding and the benefits of new techniques to the ship building are investigated, evaluated and some suggestions are put forward
