Maintenance, which is critical for safe, reliable, quality, and cost-effective service, plays a
dominant role in the railway industry. Therefore, this paper examines the importance and …

Metal additive manufacturing is rapidly gaining popularity and interest from sectors aiming to
produce larger-scale high-value components cost-effectively. To ensure each component is …

Non-destructive inspection of multi-pass welds for defects is traditionally performed once all
layers have been deposited and the sample is at ambient temperature and therefore can …

The growth of the automated welding sector and emerging technological requirements of
Industry 4.0 have driven demand and research into intelligent sensor-enabled robotic systems. …

Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of metal Additively Manufactured (AM) components is
crucial for the identification of any potential defects. Ultrasonic testing is recognised for its …

In multi-pass welding, there is increasing motivation to move towards in-process defect
detection to enable real-time repair; thus avoiding deposition of more layers over a defective …

The demand for cost-efficient manufacturing of complex metal components has driven
research for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) such as Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM…

The wire + arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process, which combines an electric arc as a
heat source and metal wire as feedstock is proving to be very effective when producing …

Wire + Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM) is an economical manufacturing technique to build
components. To maintain the commercial and technical benefits, inspection is desired at …

Automated in-process Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) systems are rapidly gaining traction
within the manufacturing industry as they reduce manufacturing time and costs. When …
