Ñ BSR/ASNT AI/ML-202x, Uses of AI/ML for
NDT Application. This is a new standard. This
standard establishes perquisites for applying
artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)
in digital NDT. It provides requirements for data
collection and management and defines criteria
for model selection and development in the
context of NDT applications. After the AI-enabled
system is developed, this standard stipulates
requirements to evaluate its performance, vali-
dation, deployment, and integration followed
by maintenance, feedback mechanisms,
training, risk assessment, and mitigation strat-
egies including the need for mandatory proce-
dures for these processes. This standard will
serve as a blueprint for formulating subsequent
standards specific to various modalities.

addresses topics including weld joint design,
workmanship, quality acceptance criteria,
nondestructive examination methods (visual,
radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and
liquid penetrant), repair of weld defects, and
post-weld heat treatment.

welded joints and structural welded joints
used in the manufacture of hydraulic cylinders.
Manufacturer’s responsibilities are presented
as they relate to the welding practices that have
been proven successful within the industry in
the production of hydraulic cylinders. Included
are clauses defining procedure qualification,
performance qualification, workmanship, and
quality requirements as well as inspection
requirements and repair requirements.
Ñ BSR/AWS D8.11M-202x, Specification for
Automotive Weld Quality – Laser Beam Welding
of Aluminum. This is a new standard. This
document will standardize laser-beam-weld
inspection procedures and establish guidelines
for process control and quality acceptance of
aluminum laser beam welds in automotive
body applications. Aluminum use in automo-
tive body structures, now including battery
trays for electric vehicles, continues to expand.
Development of this specification is the natural
next step for the AWS D8E Subcommittee
following the recent release of AWS D8.10M:
2021, Specification for Automotive Weld Quality
– Laser Beam Welding of Steel.

WEBINAR
Join the upcoming ASNT Virtual
Section meeting on 18 January
2024 at 2:00 p.m. (ET) to learn
about the early development and
in-service assessment of locomo-
tive undercarriage thermal inspec-
tion systems, which are also known
as in-track thermal detectors. The
informative presentation will be
delivered by Anish Poudel, PhD,
who will discuss how MxV Rail
installed thermocouples and data
loggers on three different styles
of locomotives. This allowed them
to record the real-time tempera-
tures of the high-load mechanical
components while the locomotives
were running on the network.
By attending the webinar, you
will discover how the continuous
data obtained from the onboard
unit was useful for determining
warmup profiles and average
operating range temperatures for
the various components. Register
today at asnt.org/virtualsection.
