Workshop Report Advanced Welding Science for DOD Application: The Genesis of theArmy Welding Microfactory Held in Golden, Colorado on 20-22 March 1991

摘要

A workshop was held to identify the welding and joining needs of the defense-related industries, and to discuss the opportunities afforded these industries to solve the needs by applying new methodology and knowledge available from the research establishment. These needs and opportunities were given approximate dates of interest which established a crude chronological prioritization for each area. Specific opportunities were matched to specific needs to suggest project areas where research and development would make contributions providing major technological impact. Various organizational concepts by which welding and joining research, development, and technological transfer could be integrated for maximum impact to achieve the most direct impact were introduced and discussed.
