Fundamental aspects of acoustic emission monitoring

Acoustic emission monitoring is an important technique for surveillance of industrial processes, especially for defining the process parameters or determining whether a machine or structure needs repair. For example, acoustic emission is particularly useful as a means to locate and characterise cracks and other defects in steel bridges.
Acoustic emission measurement system

In the context of the project "SOUNDWELD", the Belgian Welding Institute has invested in an acoustic emission measurement system, which can be used as a non-destructive technique for monitoring the weld quality during welding. In the research project SOUNDWELD, this new non-destructive in-line testing technique is evaluated for different welding processes.
Call for Papers BIL|NIL Lassymposium 2019

BIL|NIL Lassymposium: November 19, 20 and 21, 2019
Submission deadline: May 31, 2019
Hybrid laser welding of 5xxx series aluminium alloys
Micro resistance spot welding
Non destructive testing of micro-joints
Micro electron beam welding
Micro laser welding
Micro TIG and plasma welding
Micro friction stir welding

Friction stir welding is particularly suitable for joining of materials with a low melting point (aluminum, brass, copper, ...). We are speaking of micro-FSW when the thickness is less than 2 mm.
