- Predictive modelling is important to ensure integrity of aerospace component fabricated using welding technology. The significant work has recognised to reach Technology Readiness Level 4 at Rolls-Royce plc for porosity prediction using physics-based process modelling during laser fusion welding of critical aerospace components in aero-jet engines. Mr Ben Saunders, Saunders.Ben@rolls-royce.com, Team Leader - Materials and Process Modelling) . The research has contributed to the development of models for further PAW-based wire and arc additive manufacturing led by teams from University of South China and laser beam oscillating welding of aluminum alloys led by Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
