Sustainability practices applied in welding process: literature review and case study

Abstract

Different methods and technologies for welding are known today, some already consolidated and others newer in the manufacturing industry, but there are common points about the social and environmental impact of the process that need attention. This article seeks to evaluate how companies have dealt with sustainability in the context of welding process, developing a literature review in order to raise the academic results of the topic, and to evaluate how the industry has received this information through a case study.
