Abstract
Underwater welding (UW) has recently received attention due to technological advancements, leading to improved weld quality, efficiency, and automation. Its applications include nuclear, oil and gas, and marine structures. The present study aims to comprehensively review the advancements in UW, including various techniques and newly developed approaches. Additionally, corresponding process parameters that affect weld quality and material types involved in UW are discussed. Finally, the review concludes by addressing challenges, the capabilities of new approaches, and future research directions.
