About

Kei Yamazaki is a specialist in advanced arc welding processes, with a primary focus on improving efficiency, quality, and safety in industrial applications. His most impactful contribution is the development of Regulated Globular Transfer (RGT), a novel technique for CO₂ gas-shielded arc welding. As detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper, RGT significantly reduces spatter and fume generation—two persistent hazards in traditional welding—by precisely controlling the output waveform of the power source. This work, with 19 citations, has provided a practical solution for cleaner, safer welding environments. Yamazaki further extended this expertise to automation, authoring a 2013 study on robot welding processes for medium and heavy plate fabrication. This research addresses the industry's constant demand for higher efficiency, consistent quality, and lower costs by leveraging advanced power source controllability. Through these contributions, Yamazaki has demonstrated how refined process control can yield high-value, real-world improvements in manufacturing.
