1.  One day theme meeting on Recent Advances in TIG Welding (RATIG-25) is being organized at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore on  January, 10, 2025  under the aegis of the Indian Society for Particle Accelerators (ISPA) and Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS).

TIG welding has been the most deployed joining process in modern process, pharmaceutical, food, defense and nuclear industries due to its superb hygiene and excellent soundness of weld metal with a practicality of deployment in many types of ground situations. TIG welding has been at the forefront of innovations to improve penetration, productivity and quality of joints of stainless steels, titanium alloys and aluminium alloys. DAE-BRNS & ISPA are hosting a one-day theme meeting on recent advances in TIG Welding (RATIG-25) on 10th January 2025 to enable industries in making intelligent choices and to excite the academia and research labs to take up basic and applied research work. This event will feature technical talks from experts from national R&D labs, academia and industry. A key feature of the theme meeting will be a long engaging Q&A session after each technical talk in which not only the speaker will respond but all the other learned speakers will also participate.
