A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a formal document describing welding procedures. It is an internal document used by welding companies to instruct welders (or welding operators) on how to achieve quality production welds that meet all relevant code requirements.
This is a list of welding processes, separated into their respective categories. The associated N reference numbers (second column) are specified in ISO 4063 (in the European Union published as EN ISO 4063 ). [ 1 ]

For manual welding methods, labor costs generally make up the vast majority of the total cost. As a result, many cost-saving measures are focused on minimizing operation time. To do this, welding procedures with high deposition rates can be selected, and weld parameters can be fine-tuned to increase welding speed.
Military, nuclear and commercial industries possess unique quality standards (eg., ISO, CEN, ASME, ASTM, AWS, NAVSEA) which direct weld mapping procedures and specifications, both in metal casting in which defects are removed and filled in via GTAW (TIG welding) or SMAW (stick welding) processes, or fabrication of weld joints which primarily ...

In addition to welders and welding machine operators, there are also schemes to independently certify welding inspectors and related specialities. The duties of the welding inspector are described in ISO 14731; [12] however the requirement for inspector certification are not standardized, so there are differences in requirement between the various schemes.
The evolution of welding technology has been driven by advancements in Weld quality assurance, welding codes, and standards for welding inspection. [11] While the origins of welding can be traced back to approximately 3000 B.C., the need for effective weld joint inspection became increasingly apparent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the rise of industrialization ...
