Proceedings of the National Conference on Fitness-For-Service in Shipbuilding (1st) Held in Boulder, Colorado on October 23-24, 1980

Abstract

The purpose of the conference is to generate U. S. Shipbuilding Industry Policy on New Weld Acceptance Standards. The consensus of the U. S. shipbuilding industry and indeed that of the international welding fraternity has for quite some time been one of clear expression of the need to minimize unnecessary weld repair in the realms of porosity and slag inclusions. However there has not been a paved mechanism to bring that burning desire for Standards to fruition. The format of the conference programs is being so set up as to provide on the first day room for brief presentations on Fitness-for-Service, Fracture Mechanics, Appropriate N.D.T. Methods, Fatigue, Statistical Approach, Quality Control Systems Loop, Views of Code Making Bodies, Origin, Nature and Metallurgical Significance of Weld Discontinuities, The Real Meaning of Weld Repair. On the second day the workshop will be transformed into an open forum for presentations and frank discussions of ideas, suggestions, directions and recommendations of value to the end product of the conference: The Policy On New Weld Aacceptance Standards For The U. S. Shipbuilding Industry.
