Power Beam Welding of Large Structures for Energy Applications and AGM

This is a Sheffield Branch event organised and run by our Sheffield Branch for its members. Other members and non-members are welcome to join us. The talk will be followed by our Branch AGM.

The Branch AGM is members opportunity to provide feedback, suggestions and support to The Welding Institute and the local Branch Committee. The AGM will follow our talk. Do join us in order to make your views and voice heard.

Overview: The presentation will cover the exploitation of electron and laser beam welding in nuclear power generation and offshore wind applications. The talk will cover an update on new developments in the electron and laser beam systems leading to potential quality and production benefits in the fabrication of heavy walled structures in power generation plant

Speaker Biography: Chris was previously Head of Applications, Power and Energy at TWI, Cambridge. During his career, he has directed many ground-breaking research and development projects relating to welding and joining, material properties, and other advanced technologies in collaboration with a wide range of clients and partners throughout the oil and gas, renewable energy and power generation industries.
