Augmented Reality (AR) in Welding Training

Training in welding has traditionally been hands-on, but advanced technology transforms the learning experience. Augmented Reality (AR) is being employed to simulate welding scenarios, providing B.Tech mechanical engineering students with a virtual environment to practice and refine their skills. This not only enhances safety during training but also accelerates the learning curve.

IoT-enabled Welding Equipment

The Internet of Things (IoT) has permeated various sectors, and welding is embracing this connectivity revolution. IoT-enabled welding equipment allows real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and voltage. B.Tech mechanical engineering students engaging with this technology gain insights into predictive maintenance, ensuring the longevity and reliability of welding equipment.

Thus, advanced welding technology is a treasure trove of opportunities for B.Tech mechanical engineering students. Embracing these innovations prepares students for the demands of modern industries and positions them as pioneers in shaping the future of mechanical engineering. As we witness the fusion of precision, automation, and connectivity, the B.Tech mechanical engineering landscape is set to be revolutionised by the transformative power of advanced welding technologies.

Pioneering Excellence with Exciting Projects

Our students have undertaken a project focused on the experimental investigation of microstructure and mechanical properties of laser-welded sheets, representing a commendable initiative in materials science and engineering. This project involves a meticulous exploration into the intricate details of the weld joint’s microstructure, aiming to understand the structural changes induced by laser welding. 

The students would delve into the crystalline arrangement, grain boundaries, and any potential defects within the welded sheets, employing advanced microscopy techniques. Simultaneously, the project would rigorously assess the mechanical properties of the welds, such as tensile strength, hardness, and flexibility, providing valuable insights into the weld’s structural integrity. This hands-on endeavour enhances the students’ practical skills in experimental techniques. It contributes valuable data to the broader field of welding technology, fostering a deeper comprehension of the relationship between microstructure and mechanical performance in laser-welded materials.
