In this paper, a data-driven approach that is based on the k-mean clustering and local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm has been proposed and deployed for the management of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) in a welded joint. The k-mean clustering and LOF model algorithm, which was implemented for the classification, identification, and determination of data clusters and defect location in the welded joint datasets, were trained and validated such that three (3) different clusters and noise points were obtained. The noise points, which are regarded as the welded joint defects/flaws, allow for the determination of the cluster size, heterogeneity, and silhouette score of the welded joint data. Similarly, the LOF model algorithm was implemented for the detection, visualization, and management of flaws due to internal cracks, porosity, fusion, and penetration in the welded joint. It is believed that the management of welded joint flaws would aid the actualization of the Industry 4.0 concept in the development of lightweight products for manufacturing.
