Software Application for Welding Processes and Control Optimization

Abstract:

Currently, when design engineering ensures operational security by fully taking into account reliability studies, it is of primary importance to have an encompassing understanding of the welding processes and all implicit problems that may arise, not only during their implementation phase but also after completion, in order to be able to avoid material losses. It is also necessary to have a full understanding of the imperfections that may occur in welded joints, their causes and the impact they can have on the operating endurance of the products, in order to be able to accurately determine if a product meets the required quality criteria. Thus, the development of software applications which can provide information regarding welding processes may be an important achievement for the education and industry. The software application presented in this paper provides information on the description of welding processes, welding parameters selection and calculation, types of materials and their classification in groups, as well as information about the types of imperfections, their causes, limits of acceptability and non-destructive examination methods for welded joints.
