Cost reduction and characterisation of weld completion rates using very high deposition submerged arc welding integrated with adaptive control and on-line NDT.

具有集成无损检测(NDT)和自适应控制的先进焊接站正在设计中，以展示如何在保持和展示高质量产品的同时，实现更高的焊接完成率以降低成本。这一完全集成的焊接和NDT系统的供应链需求将被描述和解决，因此，满足供应链需求的全面知识和能力将与实物资产设计一起开发。该项目的成功完成将为具有不同几何形状和焊接质量检查要求的各种产品提供一个能够提高焊接效率的设施，适用于多个部门的一系列钢结构。

An advanced welding station with integrated non destructive testing (NDT) and adaptive control is being designed to demonstrate how increased weld completion rates can be achieved for reduced cost, whilst retaining and demonstrating a high quality product.The supply chain requirements, for this fully integrated welding and NDT system will be characterised and addressed and consequently comprehensive knowledge and capability to meet the supply chain need will be developed alongside the physical asset designs.Successful completion of this project will provide a facility capable of improving welding efficiency for a wide range of products with various geometries and weld quality inspection requirements, for a range of steel structures in multiple sectors.
