Abstract

Main achievements of recent years in the field of plasma welding, made by scientists from around the world and the history of the development of plasma technologies showed in the article. Main features of technological processes in which the source of heating is plasma are given. It is shown that at present a promising direction in plasma welding development is the combined and hybrid use of two or more heat sources in the formation of a welded joint. The description of equipment for plasma welding is presented.
