Over the course of three years the project aims to build the foundation for a publicly accessible file format and to foster research collaboration in arc welding on a national and international level. The talk will motivate benefits and discuss challenges of using a common file format designed to describe, store and share arc welding research data in the scope of "Open Science". By using common open source software and tools, welding data will be made more accessible and reusable so that new scientific practices may emerge. The proposed file format aims to be easy to use for common welding applications while also offering the possibility to describe complex experiments for state of the art welding research. In addition the talk will illustrate how in the future other facilities and researchers will be able to use experimental arc welding data generated at BAM for their own research, for example to conduct their own data analysis or welding process and thermo-mechanical simulations.

Providing access to welding knowledge in the form of complex and complete datasets in addition to peer-reviewed publications can be identified as an important step to promote knowledge exchange and cooperation. There exist previous efforts on building data models specifically for fusion welding applications; however, a common agreed upon implementation that is used by the community is still lacking. One proven approach in other domains has been the use of an openly accessible and agreed upon file and data format used for archiving and sharing domain knowledge in the form of experimental data. Going into a similar direction, the welding community faces particular practical, technical, and also ideological challenges that are discussed in this paper. Collaboratively building upon previous work with modern tools and platforms, the authors motivate, propose, and outline the use of a common file format specifically tailored to the needs of the welding research community as a complement to other already established Open Science practices. Successfully establishing a culture of openly accessible research data has the potential to significantly stimulate progress in welding research.

A1 - Pittner, Andreas A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Multi-Layer welding data analysis and open data approach using WelDX N2 - The talk motivates and introduces the WelDX project and the proposed solutions for current challenges in the field of research data management and Open Science practices in welding research. Using an exemplary welding dataset based on the joint and welding process design of offshore structures, advanced data fusion and analysis capabilities are demonstrated. The dataset shown consists of a complex welding sequence covering multiple weld layers with varying process parameters and adaptive weaving motions to cover manufacturing tolerances. In the presentation, an interactive exploration of the dataset contents in the spatial domain is presented. Furthermore, transformation between spatial and time domain of the data is demonstrated. In addition to data gathered during the welding process, the integration of downstream testing data and results is also explained. For demonstration, integration of weld seam cross section images and Vickers hardness mapping test results into the dataset are explained an demonstrated. The testing data is set into context with the welding process information. Finally, implications for advancements in research data management for WAAM and AI applications are discussed.

The two test specimen welded for this study were designed to feature a variable groove geometry in order to maximize efficiency of the conducted experimental efforts, resulting in 1696 individual weaving cycle records with associated arc sensor measurements, process parameters and groove shape information. Gap width was varied from 18 to 25 mm and wire feed rates in the range of 9 to 13 m/min were used in the course of this study. Artificial neural networks were used as a modelling tool to derive an arc sensor for estimation of gap width suitable for online process control that can adapt to changes in process parameters as well as changes in the weaving motion of the electrode. Wire feed rate, weaving current, sidewall dwell currents and angles were used as inputs to calculate the gap width. Evaluation the proposed arc sensor model show very good estimation capabilities for parameters sufficiently covered during experiments.
