Industrialization challenges in welding, and large scale metal fabrication

22 (Huntington Convention Center)
The ability to take an idea from concept to industrialization requires the development of tools to measure, compare and characterize the fundamental aspects of metal transfer, solidification, and post deposition assessment of fabricated components. The first part of the talk will focus on asking the big questions that requires sustained and focused effort from academia and the industry to deliver answers. The second part of the talk will delve into some current work on developing tools required for pushing the boundaries of performance, productivity and user experience of welded and fabricated metallic components. The use of computer vision and machine learning based techniques, acquisition and management of large data sets, and utilizing sensors and instrumentation will be illustrated using different case studies that have direct relevance to industrial applications. Three different tools to measure weld bead surface quality, metal transfer behavior and post deposition distortion in large metal parts will be used as case studies to connect the measurement science to industrially relevant problems. The use of these tools to automate tasks that require repetitive manipulation of different data streams and discover correlations that would have been difficult to visualize otherwise will be illustrated through these case studies.
