Quality Assurance in Special Processes on the Example of the Welding Process

Abstract. This paper introduces a comprehensive framework aimed at ensuring quality assurance in welding procedures within the construction sector. The framework encompasses the adoption of standardized Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), rigorous training and certification processes for welders, and the integration of state-of-the-art technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time monitoring. It underscores the significance of comprehending welding metallurgy and optimizing welding processes to elevate both quality standards and operational efficiency. The implementation of this framework has resulted in notable enhancements in welding quality control, manifesting in significant reductions in defects, increased production efficiency, and heightened workplace safety measures. By amalgamating theoretical insights (analysis of factors determining the welding quality) with practical strategies, this framework endeavors to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and excellence within the construction industry.
