Abstract  

The research content of local dry underwater welding was discussed in order to guide and promote the development of local underwater welding technology and improve the application of local dry underwater welding technology in marine resource development and nuclear power plant construction and maintenance. The relevant application background, underwater environment characteristics and various process methods were reviewed in order to realize " standardization” and " scientific” research on local dry underwater welding technology. The main problems and research status of key technologies such as underwater automatic mobile platform, binocular stereo vision, drainage device, molten pool simulation and welding quality prediction were listed and analyzed for the development of local dry underwater welding automation. The future development trend and key research directions of local dry underwater welding technology were summarized.

Key words： local dry underwater welding      standardization and scientification      automation      research status
