WAM 2024 International Hybrid Conference to take place in Istanbul in November
October 8, 2024
The WAM 2024 International Hybrid Conference and Exhibition, which focuses on advanced welding and metal Additive Manufacturing, is scheduled to take place November 21-22 in Istanbul, Türkiye.
Over the two-day event, international experts will present technological developments and their use in industrial applications, as well as discuss current and future challenges. International Institute of Welding (IIF) & EWF (European Welding Federation) education-training-certification issues will be discussed, and the shortage of welders, welding engineers, inspectors, Additive Manufacturing machine operators and coordinators will also be addressed.
The WAM 2024 International Conference looks to provide an opportunity for industries, universities and research institutions to exhibit their recent products and developments in welding and metal Additive Manufacturing technologies. The use of robotics and automation in both welding and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) AM technologies will be exhibited for various materials, parts and applications. Research students will have an opportunity to present their projects and discuss their results with experts.
The event will cover the following topics:
- Advanced arc welding technologies, including twin-arc and tandem processes
- Laser beam and hybrid welding technologies & applications
- Wire-feed or powder electron beam welding
- Flux cored wire and seamless flux cored wire technologies and their use
- All metal alloys welding, testing and analysis of their welds
- Industrial applications, inspections and tests
- Surface modification of Additive Manufacturing parts
- High strength and armoured steel welds, their properties (incl. ballistic properties)
- Underwater and wet welding technologies and their consumables
- Design and simulation aspects of the metal Additive Manufacturing materials
- Testing of MAM materials, distortion prevention and residual stresses of MAM parts
- Fatigue and fracture toughness aspects of MAM and bi-metallic DED parts
- Programming and software developments in robotic MAM & DED applications
- Predictive theoretical and computational approaches for Additive Manufacturing
- Testing, NDT methods and defect assessment of MAM & DED parts
- Developments on Education-Training-Certification of welding and MAM & DED personnel
