A novel rapid sintering method, namely flash-light sintering, was applied as a post-treatment for spin-coated lithium lanthanum titanate thin films to prevent lithium evaporation and obtain fully dense thin films with perovskite structures.

A monitoring technique for detecting changes in the root gap of butt joints during the flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) was proposed. FCAW experiments were conducted for both increasing and decreasing root gap conditions, and current and voltage were measured during the root-pass welding. The measured time series signals were used as input data for training Random Convolution Kernel Transform (ROCKET) algorithm, which consists of a feature extractor with multiple random kernels, and a linear classifier. A univariate model using current and voltage, respectively, and a multivariate model using both were compared, and the multivariate model showed the highest classification accuracy of 96.2%. Moreover, the classification errors were investigated by correlating the geometry of the root bead with the measured signals.
