About

Cleber Marques is a leading researcher in advanced welding automation, with a primary focus on orbital welding processes for the oil and gas industry. His work centers on developing adaptive, sensor-driven systems that enhance the precision and reliability of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) for stainless steel pipelines. Marques’s key contributions include the integration of dynamic wire feeding and laser vision sensors to enable real-time adaptive control, addressing critical challenges in automation such as repeatability and defect reduction. His most-cited paper, “Keyhole GTAW with Dynamic Wire Feeding Applied to Orbital Welding of 304L SS Pipes” (2019, 14 citations), demonstrates a novel approach to improving weld quality in stainless steel pipes, directly supporting the Brazilian oil and gas sector’s shift from manual to automated processes. Another influential work, “An adaptive orbital system based on laser vision sensor for pipeline GMAW welding” (2021, 11 citations), further advances sensor-guided welding, showcasing his impact on industrial automation. Marques’s research is pivotal for students and engineers seeking to understand the intersection of robotics, sensor technology, and welding metallurgy, offering practical solutions for high-stakes pipeline applications.
