NEW PUBLICATION DISCUSSES COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN WELDING.Persons interested in the use of computer technology in welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. will want to get a new publication from NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. . Included in Ninth International Conference on Computer Technology in Welding are 39 printed manuscripts that were submitted to the conference held in September 1999 in Detroit. The papers are divided into two tracksmodeling and weld sensing/control. Under modeling, there are papers on simulation of resistance welding Resistance welding A process in which the heat for producing the weld is generated by the resistance to the flow of current through the parts to be joined. , simulation of gas metal arc welding  Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG) welding , weld shape and distortion modeling, solidification/weld composition modeling, general modeling and welding documentation. Under weld sensing and control, there are papers on monitoring of gas metal arc quality, gas metal arc droplet droplet very small drop of fluid. droplet nuclei the finite particles of matter which are transmitted from animal to animal. control, weld process automation, communication and interfaces, and database applications. The visuals from two tutorials at the conference also are included in the document. These are developing an effective web page and networking of welding applications. The proceedings also contains an appendix with the names and addresses of all the speakers and attendees at the conference. |
