IIW 2018 Awards booklet

HALIL KAYA GEDIK AWARD Sponsored by the Turkish Delegation

Recognises a scientist or engineer’s significant contributions to the advancement welding science and technology. CATEGORY A – The Development of Consumables

Mr Deok-Sang Yoo (Republic of Korea), a Senior Welding Engineer, was a Representative Director of ESAB SeAH Corporation for eight years and is currently CEO of SEUN MPC in Changwon, Korea. He holds a Bachelor Degree of Naval Architecture and Master Degree of Welding from Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea as well as an Executive MBA Degree from Helsinki Aalto University, Finland. He commenced his career as a Welding Engineer in the Korea Shipbuilding and Engineering Corporation (now Hanjin Heavy Industries) building and repairing commercial ships, barges, and lighters, before moving to ESAB SeAH Corporation and becoming the CEO and Director of the Welding Research Institute, which pioneered the production of flux cored welding wire in Korea. In his role at the Welding Research Institute, and as an ESAB Representative Director, Yoo contributed to enhancing Korea’s industrial competitiveness in heavy indus- tries such as shipbuilding and construction, particularly with the development of high performance welding materials and new manufacturing technology utilising seamless flux cored with low hydrogen, zero moisture absorption and less cold cracking.

A research, industrial or academic best paper selected from amongst all papers published in six issues of the Welding in the World journal in 2017. WELDING IN THE WORLD 2017 BEST PAPER AWARD Sponsored by the IIW Dr Yosuke Ogino, Prof. Yoshinori Hirata and Prof. S. Asai ‘Numerical simulation of metal transfer in pulsed-MIG welding’

2018 AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT

Dr Yosuke Ogino (Japan) obtained his PhD from Osaka University in Japan in 2014. He has been an Assistant Professor in the Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University since 2015. His main research topic is the numerical simulation of welding phenomena, in particular the numerical simulation of the heat source of the gas metal arc welding process, including interactions between the arc plasma and metal transfer phenomena. This work has enabled the detailed visualisation of the behaviour and properties of heat sources. Ogino has given many presentations and published papers about numerical simulation of the arc welding process, and received awards from the JapanWelding Society. The winning paper was recommended for publication in Welding in the World by IIW Study Group 212 Physics of Welding.
