Monitoring of laser welding and introduction to DED process
Welcome to the joint workshop between VADILA & MUE & ValDED!
Real‑time monitoring in laser welding is critical for ensuring weld quality and process stability, as it enables early detection of defects such as porosity, lack‑of‑fusion, and keyhole instability, thereby improving reliability and reducing post‑weld inspection requirements.
This half-day workshop on real‑time monitoring in laser welding and an introduction to Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is aimed at researchers and industry practitioners. The event will cover monitoring techniques, common weld defects, process stability, and live demonstrations.
Program:
09:00–09:30 Coffee, Registration
09:30–10:00 Overview of the projects, Professor Antti Salminen
10:00–10:30 Monitoring in laser welding, Doctoral Researcher Saeid Parchegani Chozaki
10:30–11:00 Introduction to DED, University Lecturer, Kandice Barros Ribeiro
11:00–12:00 Demonstrations
Why attend Real-time monitoring in laser welding is critical for ensuring weld quality and process stability. It enables early detection of defects such as porosity, lack‑of‑fusion, and keyhole instability, improving reliability and reducing the need for extensive post-weld inspection.
