Automatic Welding Sparks Production at American Welding Society Conference.Experts Discuss Critical Benefits of Including Automatic Welding Processes in Operations American Welding Society The American Welding Society (AWS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the science, technology, and application of welding and allied joining and cutting processes, including brazing, soldering, and thermal spraying. :
WHAT: AWS Automatic Welding Conference
WHO: American Welding Society (AWS)
WHEN: May 13-14, 2008
WHERE: Hilton New Orleans Airport, 901 Airline Drive,
Kenner, Louisiana, 70062
Background: While already pressed to extreme limits, many manufacturing companies are continuously challenged to increase production and optimize efficiency. Designing clear-cut strategies that will accomplish both targets has never been a simple task, but now it can be made easier. At the American Welding Society (AWS) Automatic Welding Conference, attendees will learn the latest technologies and sought after solutions in automatic welding that could set production and operations into high gear. Featuring leading industry experts, this two-day event is completely dedicated to automatic welding, automatic controls, and training and management innovations. In addition, speakers will explore critical automation breakthroughs for the newest welding processes, which have enabled the industry to dramatically accelerate output and enhance quality. Such processes include fiber and disk lasers; friction and thermal stir welding; hot-wire tungsten arc welding; laser GMAW GMAW Gas Metal Arc Welding hybrid welding; as well as automation technology for traditional processes, such as submerged arc welding Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a common arc welding process. It requires a continuously fed consumable solid or tubular (flux cored) electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being “submerged” under a blanket of granular . Event speakers possess extensive industry backgrounds and are currently serving for well-respected companies and organizations, such as Carolina Energy Solutions, Lincoln Electric, Edison Welding Institute Edison Welding Institute or EWI is a nonprofit, Ohio state-chartered engineering and technology organization dedicated to welding and materials joining. EWI staff provide materials joining assistance, contract research, consulting services and training to member companies in , Genesis Systems, Naval Surface Warfare Center Noun 1. Naval Surface Warfare Center - the agency that provides scientific and engineering and technical support for all aspects of surface warfare NSWC , and NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. Marshall Space Flight Center The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), the original home of NASA, is a lead center for propulsion, Space Shuttle propulsion, Shuttle external fuel tank, crew training and payloads, International Space Station (ISS) design and construction, for computers, networks, and . Attendees will receive important information on ways to ensure maximum performance of automatic assemblies by using new welding processes and quality-enhancing techniques, both of which may help to contend with rising labor, materials and energy costs. Additional in-depth program topics include: * Innovations in Robotic Welding * Laser Hybrid Welding * Magnetic Pulse Welding Magnetic pulse welding is a welding process in which a very high AC current (the "primary current") is passed through a conductive coil (the "inductor") in the vicinity of an electrically conductive material (the "flyer"). * Innovations in Submerged Arc Welding * Friction Stir Welding Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an exotic solid-state joining process (meaning the metal is not melted during the process) and is used for applications where the original metal characteristics must remain unchanged as far as possible. of Steels * Impact of Fiber Lasers on the Material Processing Market * Thermal Stir Welding * Disk Laser Welding * Hot-Wire Gas Tungsten Arc Welding  Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. for Production Applications * Understanding and Reducing Welding Fume Exposure Conference registration is $550 for AWS members, $680 for nonmembers. Registration includes all conference sessions, two continental breakfasts, two lunches, and refreshment breaks. Attendees will receive a CD containing copies of all presentations and an attendee roster for post-event networking and follow-up. Nonmembers receive a two-year complimentary AWS membership with registration.
