The optical Fiber Bragg Grating（FBG） should be metallized and its temperature sensitivity should be enhanced before it is used to monitor the metal welding. This paper gives the topics con- cerning the monitoring welding process using FBGs. Firstly, the status of the protection and sensitivi- ty enhancement of FBGs is briefly summarized, and the merits and shortcomings of each method are compared on the melt coating, vacuum evaporation, sputtering, chemical plating and electroplating. Then, two important issues for the application of FBGs to the welding monitoring are analyzed, inclu- ding, the calibration of sensing signals and their sensitivities as well the division of coupled sensing data. After that, the illustrations of the real-time monitoring welding processing using FBGs for tem- perature and strain are introduced, and the Friction Stir Welding（FSW）, Metal Inert-Gas（MIG） welding and Tungsten Inert Gas （TIG） welding and some associated technological issues, as well the installation and layout of sensors, the protection and sensibilizati selection are systematically analyzed. In addition, the feasibility in the monitoring ultrasonic welding and brazing are analyzed. and difficulties in the real-time monitoring of welding process joint, processing the data errors induced by the poor conduction surface, and the cross sensitivity of temperature and strain. on of sensors and the reference sensor and application prospect of the FBGs Finally, it points out that the issues are monitoring the inside of welding between the pasted FBG and the weld
