Industry 4.0 in welding
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 5
Abstract
To reach the next developmental stage of welding technologies, i.e. the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept and the Internet of Things (IOT) in welding, it is crucial to understand and provide the welding responsible for technological development with necessary data; the objective being the facilitated obtainment of necessary machine data in future. The foregoing necessitates the development and adaptation of modern welding equipment to needs of the smart factory as well as to collect and evaluate a considerable amount of data relevant to welding processes. This paper presents a short overview of already available possibilities and ideas enabling the adaptation of today’s solutions to the needs of Industry 4.0. in future.

Assessment of Mechanical Properties of Laser Beam Welded Joints Made of Steel Strenx S700MC Subjected to High Impact Load
The article assesses the strength and ductility of laser welded joints made of steel Strenx S700MC. The assessment was based on tests results concerning the material structure, hardness as well as quasi-static and dynami...
Effect of Nanoparticles on the Structure and Properties of Welds Made of High Strength Low-Alloy Steels
The article presents test results concerning the structure of welds made of high strength low-alloy steel 14HGNDC which, in the molten state, was provided with nanoparticles of various refractory compounds including oxid...
Effect of Powder Surfacing on the Geometry of Run Surfaced on Flat and Cylindrical Elements
Comparative tests of self-shielded arc surfacing of flat and cylindrical elements led to the conclusion that both of the above-named cases revealed the identical effect of surfacing conditions on the run width and the ba...
Cracking of Welded Structures in Power Engineering Systems
An increase in demand for electric power necessitates the revamping and construction of systems characterised by increasingly high efficiency. The construction of power units exposed to supercritical and ultra-supercriti...
Characteristics of MAG Welded Joints Made in Fine-Grained High-Strength Steel S960QL
The paper presents the results of investigation performed in relation to butt welds made in steel S960QL using the MAG method. The research involved two types of welds, i.e. I (square butt weld preparation) and V-shaped....
