Abstract The gas tungsten arc welding process is an uncertain nonlinear multivariable system. In order to control the welding process, the nonlinear dynamic relationship between the weld pool geometry reflecting the weld quality and the welding parameters must be developed. A three-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the weld pool geometry when...

Laser welding has been widely used in various industry fields. In order to further alter and broaden its applicability, a novel technology of laser welding under vacuum is introduced. The combination of high power laser and low ambient pressure provides an excellent welding performance and quality. In this paper, an overview on laser welding under vacuum is presented. It begins with a short int...

The visual recognition methods of texture feature of welding seam have the important significances to realize the automatic tracking of welding seam in the steps of subsequent welding and cover welding of multi-layer welding. Starting from the point of view of making full use of texture feature of welding seam image, the method research and algorithm design are respectively carried out on the 2...

–Friction stir welding is a solid state welding technology used for welding low melting point metals, such as Al, Mg and its alloys. Later welding was conducted on dissimilar metals which also produced a better defect free joint. Tool design and welding parameters contributes a major role for producing a better weld. Material flow and friction heat are the factors that the internal factor for t...

A new welding helmet for the manual welding process has been developed. The welders working conditions are improved by augmenting the visual information before and during welding. The image is improved providing a better view of the working area. An online quality assistant is available during welding, suggesting the correction of the guns position or pointing out welding errors, by analyzing t...

In order to study the effect of spot welding parameters such as welding force, welding time and welding current intensity on nugget formation and its size in resistance spot welding process of CR3 low carbon steel sheets using ANSYS commercial software package. A 2D axisymmetric electro-thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) model is developed to simulate the nugget forming process and to predic...

The aim of this paper is to achieve thespot welding sequence for minimum distortion of a sheet metal assembly and to optimise the parameters of welding which insures minimum distortion for the optimised sequence. The distortion of the assembly involving number of spot welds is different for different sequences of welding The assembly consists of sheet metal components which are joined by using ...

Ultrasonic complex vibration welding of same and different metal specimens and structures of the welded area are studied using several complex vibration welding systems, scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM). Ultrasonic welding can weld various metal directly using vibration and static clamping pressure. The welding area is limited very narrow layer and can weld different...

Although various computer-aided fixture design (CAFD) systems have been developed to assist the designer during the various stages of fixture design, most of previous computer aided fixture design research has mainly concentrated on machining fixtures rather than welding fixtures. The development of complicated computer aided welding fixture design (CAWFD) system has received much less attentio...
