IIT-Kharagpur developed to identify welding flaws

New Delhi: According to a representative for the institute, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE) has received a copy of new software that IIT-Kharagpur developed to identify welding flaws from radiographic photographs of an object.

To check the material integrity of welds, castings, pipelines, and other machined items, radiography testing is used. According to IIT KGP spokeswoman, doctoral student Avishek Mukherjee created the artificial intelligence-based programme "iWeld" while working under the guidance of Surjya K. Pal, chair of the "Centre of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing Technology" (CoEAMT) at the institute.

The software was evaluated at GRSE using a huge number of samples, and it was discovered to produce findings that were 93.18 percent correct. According to the spokeswoman, it was given to GRSE, which reports to the minister of defence, last week. He continued, "iWeld is expected to replace the requirement for skilled weld supervisors in the near future."
