Making reliable weld seams

If a component is to be tight and robust, it should be welded. Simulations determine the properties of the weld in advance. To optimize the simulated calculation models for the French electricity company Électricité de France (EDF), a team of researchers at MLZ measured stress in a component after… [read more]
