Modern Marvels, a popular History Channel television series dedicated to
the scientific innovation behind everyday items, will broadcast on May

excellent program that explores the importance of welding in our society
while presenting several aspects of the industry, including
welding-related professions, in a very positive light. Principally, the
episode will cover the history, science and technology of welding, and
provide an overview of various welding methods, including SMAW, GMAW,
GTAW, RW, explosion welding, underwater welding, welding in steel
erection, automotive robotic welding, and more. In addition, the program

including ironwork, technology, research and engineering.

AWS has been working for several months with the program's producer to
help organize facts and other information about the welding industry. A
selection of companies across the nation also assisted the History
Channel during the production of this film, and several will be featured
throughout. These include: Lincoln Electric Company, RobotWorx, a
robotics integrator based in Marion, Ohio; Dynamic Materials
