10th Weld Cracking Conference also known “Weld Cracking X”. This immensely popular conference will deal with the number one enemy to a weld – the presence of hydrogen. Industry experts from leading institutes will provide an overview on the latest in materials, welding equipment, innovations and industrial applications that can help you do your job better while saving time and money. Learn first-hand from the leaders in the field, such as Boian Alexandrov the Conference keynoter, and network with fellow peers in the weld cracking industry. This program covers specifics about the conference and speakers and provides an inside look at activities available to you during your visit.
