Zero Defects in Welding Applications

Date : 15 to 16 December, 2026

Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Pune

LAST DATE FOR REGISTRATION 08 December 2026

INTRODUCTION

Today, Welding has acquired the status of a top class manufacturing process and is required by almost every sector of Industrial activity, everywhere in world. Means of transport - be it road, rail, air or water – all of them necessarily depend on welding technology for their manufacturing. The same goes for the consumer durable & white goods industry. The quality needs of various welded sheet metal and other components are vital for the producers to reach the A-class level of competence and consistency of the integrated final product.

The modern fast and automated manufacturing Technology required in these Mass-manufacturing industries, involves Welding processes such as Resistance Spot, Seam, Projection and Butt Welding, MIG/MAG Welding, FCAW, Laser Cutting & Welding, Friction Welding and Friction Stir Welding. In spite of the high end technology the quality inconsistency arising due to distortion and welding defects are still the major issues every welding Engineer faces.

This will help the practicing engineers in developing full technical understanding of the subject and solve manufacturing issues related to welding processes.

FOCUS AREAS		KEY TAKE AWAYS
A perspective on what is Zero Defects in Welding – Man. Machine, Method Taking into account the needs of the materials for generic process of welding - the Science of Welding Important Material Properties which directly interact with these Processes - they dictate the process Overview of Welding Technology to logically comprehend given processes Welding Arc as a Heating Source – know the Physics for correct application Evolution of various Arc Welding Processes Snap shot of various Arc Processes – SMAW, SAW, ESW, GTA, PLASMA MIG/MAG_CO2 Process : Equipment, Power Sources, Controls, Productivity Fitment issues in MIG / MAG, Defects, and Distortion in Arc Welding The six Resistance Welding Processes : Commonalities & Basics Resistance Spot, Seam and Sheet Projection Welding Process Solid Projection, Upset Butt and Flash Butt Welding Processes Friction and Friction Stir Welding Laser Processing : Cutting, Heat Treating and Welding Electron Beam, Ultrasonic, CD Stud and Arc Stud processes Other solid state welding processes Safety, Maintenance, Productivity in Welding		After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to - Clearly understand the mechanism of weld formation - the basic for all the welding done - to be able to correlate the dynamics of the various processes; Convincingly choose the welding process for given applications on relative merits; Develop the ability to analyse and solve the day to day problems more effectively and quickly; Plan for the consistency of the quality levels while meeting the production targets by understanding the interactive effect seven(7) engineering disciplines in action at a time; Plan and run their DoE trials, as and when needed, more effectively and economically by choosing the right parameters – the attributes; Finally understand and grasp the whole picture – a common platform - to pre-empt and avoid the time consuming interdepartmental meetings for problem solving and/or conflict resolution.
