Join our Welding and Joining Processes (TG2) Technical Group and our London Branch for their upcoming In-person event hosted by Fronius International and organised in collaboration with Cranfield University.

The event, which is titled, ‘Advances in Welding Technology: An Afternoon Session of Demonstrations and Technical Talks, followed by a BBQ and The Cranfield Student Lecture Competition’, will feature live demonstrations, cutting-edge technical talks, and student innovation; centered around the future of welding technology and education.

The day will begin with an afternoon session of technical talks and live demonstrations presented by a range of industry experts:

Advances in Weld Monitoring - presented by Chris Cathles, TVC Ltd. Followed by live demonstrations on arc monitoring, purge technology and laser cameras.

Advances in MIG Welding - presented by Bernd Rutzinger, Fronius Ltd. Followed by live demonstrations on ‘I WAVE Pro’ and stainless steel.

In addition, Dr James Wainwright from Cranfield University will be presenting on, ‘Advances in Welding Education,’ showcasing how educational advancements are driving industry progress.

To follow from the technical talks and live demonstrations, a BBQ and networking session will be hosted before continuing on to the evening session, including the Cranfield University Welding Engineering MSc Group Project Lecture Competition, sponsored by The Welding Institute's London Branch. Three group projects will be presented by 18 MSc students currently enrolled at Cranfield University, presentations will focus on:

• Laser welding of duplex steels with oscillated profile
• Improvement of surface finish for wear plate using laser scanning
• The use of flux cored wires with advanced power sources

These students bring global expertise, including IWE and EWE diploma holders, a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI), and a seasoned NDT specialist with over 20 years in the oil and gas sector.

To conclude, a judging panel will select the top project, with the award being presented by the President of The Welding Institute’s London Branch.
