Assessment of a new real-time monitoring technique for flash butt welding

The proposed accelerate project seeks to assess a non-destructive means for flagging failed welds in bandsaw blades in real time. The main challenge is to evaluate the correlation between the welding parameters and the properties (including microstructural and mechanical properties) of the final welds. Statistical modeling and different data analysis algorithms may be used in this step. Achieving this goal will extend the nondestructive inline testing capabilities of WeldMS to a broader range of manufacturing processes that use flash butt welding, eg welding of pipes, chain links, etc
