Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide advice and information and to outline the rules governing the procedures to be followed for The Henry Granjon Prize Competition. Purpose of the Competition The Henry Granjon Prize Competition is an annual international competition among authors of papers devoted to research into welding technology or a related subject. The purpose of this Competition is to stimulate interest in welding and allied processes among young people. Eligibility To be eligible for the Competition, original scientific papers (theses, research reports, state-of-the-art surveys, etc.) must not have been previously published, and must be based on recent work carried out at a University or an equivalent educational institution, or in industry. This work must either form part: of a Master’s or Doctoral Degree project, or, of an industrial project at an equivalent technical Scope The work must fall within one of four main categories of technology related to joining, surfacing or cutting: - Category A: Joining and Fabrication Technology This category covers more specifically: Flame welding processes Arc welding processes Physics of the heat source (e.g. arc, laser) Prediction of heat source behaviour and weld zone shape Power sources for arc welding Thermal cutting Surfacing Welding robots Brazing and soldering Joining processes for plastics and ceramics Organization of welding plants. - Category B: Materials Behaviour and Weldability This category covers more specifically: Test methods for assessing weldability
