Gleeble Webinar 42 - Simulations for Manufacturing Process Improvements-for Real Life Applications

Описание: Presenter: Yoni Adonyi, Senior Professor, University West, Trollhätten, Sweden

Abstract: Professor Adonyi has worked on several Gleeble systems since the late 1980s at The Ohio State University, US Steel Research and LeTourneau University, from where he retired as Professor Emeritus. After moving back to his native Europe, he has been working part-time in Sweden (where he has access to a Gleeble 3800) but resides in Hungary and also works on consulting projects in the USA.

In this webinar Prof. Adonyi shares some of his experiences gained over three decades of diverse Gleeble manufacturing improvement applications, ranging from weldability testing to centrifugal casting- and high frequency welding process optimizations. Beyond the diversity of these Gleeble uses for real life applications, he will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of these specific simulations, as well as issues of confidentiality, practical validation and implementation in stressful industrial environments. The presentation will include examples of the challenges and opportunities related to physical simulations in these developments lasting from six months to one year.

The author hopes that manufacturing managers and company owners will join this webinar and be persuaded of the usefulness of these immediately applicable Gleeble simulations, and dedicate future resources to completing physical simulation-to-practice-and-back optimization cycles for their industrial environments. This webinar should bring industry and academic/ research communities closer to more versatile, credible and efficient uses of physical simulations in short-term, relatively straightforward applications.
