a New study conducted by the University of Leicester, will effectively optimize the welding process.
Arc welding and additive manufacturing are extremely important to create large metal parts, in terms of cost and fabrication time. Data from this study showed how to optimize the process and increase efficiency with reduced cost.
Work has focused on the study of the bath of the melt, which are created during the welding process. The results showed that the arc welding can be optimized by controlling flow of the molten bath and change the corresponding active elements on the surface.
researcher of the research team said that the findings will help to design and optimize welding processes and additive manufacturing for production components with improved properties at reduced cost.
it is estimated that more than 50% of technical products in the world contain welded joints. In Europe, the welding industry has traditionally provided support to various companies working in the shipbuilding, pipeline, automotive, aerospace, defense and construction sectors. The revenue from the market of welding equipment and consumables in Europe in 2017 has reached 3.5 billion Euro.
the findings will help in future to design and optimize the process of welding and additive manufacturing. They will have an important and far-reaching influence ahead to all the heavy industry.
