The American Welding Society (AWS) has released AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 – Standard Welding Terms and Definitions Including Terms for Additive Manufacturing, Adhesive Bonding, Brazing, Soldering, Thermal Cutting, Thermal Spraying, and Nondestructive Examination (AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025), the latest edition of the industry’s most comprehensive welding terminology reference. Now available for purchase through the AWS Bookstore, this essential reference provides updated definitions and terminology used across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, aerospace, automotive, education, and more.

As welding technology evolves, so does its nomenclature. AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 introduces new terms for additive manufacturing and nondestructive examination, ensuring professionals have the most up-to-date terminology to support their work.

“Using accurate welding terminology is critical,” said Stephen Borrero, Secretary to the AWS A2 Committee on Definitions and Symbols. “Clear and consistent definitions ensure professionals can communicate effectively and avoid costly mistakes. A misinterpreted term in a welding procedure, inspection report, or blueprint can create safety hazards, cause project delays, and result in expensive errors.” 

More than just a reference reflecting the latest advancements in fabrication, inspection, and welding technology, AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 is an essential tool for preventing miscommunication and ensuring precision, consistency, and compliance across the welding industry.

To support industry professionals, AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 offers: 

Consistent Welding Terminology – Ensures standardized language across projects, reducing misinterpretation and improving accuracy in specifications, reports, and procedures.

Expanded Coverage – Introduces new terms for Additive Manufacturing and Nondestructive Examination.

Essential Reference – A trusted resource for engineers, welders, educators, and industry professionals who rely on clear, precise communication.

Whether drafting welding specifications, studying for certification, or working on the shop floor, AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 is the go-to resource for welding definitions.

AWS A3.0M/A3.0:2025 is now available. Get a copy today from the AWS Bookstore.
