An analysis of the feasibility of predictive process control of welding applications using infrared pyrometers and thermal metamodels

Predictive process control (PPC) is the use of predictive, physical models as the basis for process control [1]. In contrast, conventional control algorithms utilize statistical models that are derived from repetitive process trials. PPC employs in-process monitoring and control of manufacturing pro...
