Friction Stir Weld Control

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

The AI agent monitors the telemetry and supplements the human controlling the Self-Reacting Friction Stir Weld by sending updated trim commands to fine tune the weld parameters to keep the calculated power within the researched and specified band as conditions change.

Detailed example

The AI agent outputs updated trim commands sent to the welding machine.  A log of all input data and internal data is created.

AI / analytics pattern

Agentic AI: AI systems that perform tasks or make decisions autonomously with minimal human intervention.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

The SR-FSW has a lower defect rate reducing rework, cost, and number of test welds, providing more resilient structures.
