Welding has changed from an art to a science applying “high-tech” technologies and several transversal axes from which several Related Techniques emerge.
The Division of Welding and Related Techniques aims at the development of technological innovations that will expand welding’s presence in the manufacturing sectors. Research orientations in the Division of Welding and Related Techniques go from arc initiation, arc diagnostic and welding arc control to the phenomena governing the metal fusion as well as the metal solidification by going through several automation and synergy steps which are necessary to better understand the welding phenomenon.
The main research themes in DSTC are about:
- Welding plasma diagnostic and spectroscopy.
- The command and control of welding’s installation.
- Material behavior at high temperatures.
- Industrial environment of welding process.
