III. Assessment Standards & Ranking Method
1. Assessment Standards
Judges from China and other countries shall make assessment together to guarantee the fairness and justice of the refereeing activities according to international recognized standards and rules.
(1) The Seventh International Welding Technology Competition
This competition requires competitors to submit competition documents for expert assessment and make defense via online. Competitors should submit documents by one of the following ways:
Papers and presentation PPT related to New Welding Technique/New Equipment/New Material/New Technology;Drawings + project photos + process description related to New Welding Technique/New Equipment/New Material/New Technology and presentation PPT.
(2) The Eleventh International Welding Skills Competition
For this competition, Chinese and foreign judges shall make assessment together based on ISO9606 international standards and rules to guarantee the fairness and justice of the refereeing and assessment.
(3) The Second Virtual Simulation Welding Competition
The competition is conducted by Augmented reality (AR) simulator.The evaluation and acceptance shall refer to ISO6947, ISO15608,etc., and the score will be analyzed and generated by simulator.Evaluation indicators include: correctly set welding parameters, adjust the air pressure of welding cylinders, adjust the current and voltage, adjust the best welding posture, control the stability of vertical angle and horizontal angle, moving speed and distance between welding gun and welding line. Ensure that the weld width, width difference, height, height difference, welding line’s length, back penetration and plug hole welding scar diameter, diameter difference, height, back penetration and other indicators of butt welding meet the requirements, and there will be no penetration defects.
(4) The Tenth International Robot Welding Competition
This competition follows ISO9606 international standards and regulations.
2. Ranking Method
(1) Group Award: This award is granted to teams according to total team scores. The total scores of each team are calculated by adding up the scores of each team’s 3 best individual competitors in single competition project. The teams with less than 3 competitors cannot be ranked in Group Award.
(2) Individual Award: The best competitor in single competition project in each country (or delegation) can be ranked in Individual Award.
