Abstract—This Research article is aimed at highlighting the importance of Welding Processes in marine applications. The recent developments in the manufacturing world have led to a revolutionary change in the design and development of various systems. Development in welding technology is one of such changes. Welding processes have been used extensively as a joining technique. This research article represents a review of underwater welding (UWW) technique which has found a significant role in the joining industry. The paper deals with review of various underwater welding (UWW) techniques from marine applications point of view. The paper was structured by taking into consideration the aspects, classification and, importance of UWW process. The paper also describes the characteristics, applications and the risk mitigation factors of underwater welding (UWW) techniques from marine applications point of view.
