Chair: Mr. Pierre Calmon (France)
Commission V has the challenging task of monitoring, reviewing
and contributing to all international standardization activities
related to non-destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation of
welded structures. The Commission has specialist groups
devoted to the fields of: radiographic weld inspection; ultrasonic
weld inspection; electric, magnetic and optical weld inspection;
and NDT reliability including simulation. Recent successes of
the Commission include: major contributions to ISO standards
dealing with metal magnetic memory, major contributions
to simulation of NDT technique as applied to probability of
detection studies, beginning the process of guided wave
ultrasonic testing standardization and completion of the IIW
Phased Array Handbook. The Commission also seeks to impact
and develop training and qualification programmes for NDT
personnel.

COMMISSION IV: POWER BEAM PROCESSES
Sub-Commissions and Working Groups:
C-IV-A: Laser Welding Processes
Chair: Prof. Seiji Katayama (Japan)
C-IV-B: Electron Beam Processes
Chair: Mr Ernest D. Levert (United States)
C-IV-C: Laser Hybrid Arc Welding
Chair: Dr. Herbert Staufer (Austria)
Commission IV operates like a “think tank”
for scientists, engineering and technical
personnel who are involved in the research,
deve-lopment and application of power beam
processing technologies including laser, laser-
hybrid and electron beam welding processes.
These processes are in a continuous state
of rapid development and advancement as
new technologies and innovations offer a
nearly unlimited array of welding, joining and
processing opportunities.
Technical and scientific presen-tations by
Commission members give attention to new
processes, process modelling, mechanical
properties of end-products and environmental
health and safety. The Commission is especially
active in the study of the application of power
beam processes to novel and otherwise
difficult-to-weld materials like high-strength
steels, specialty stainless steels, light alloys,
dissimilar materials and coated products.
