Cytotoxicity of electric spot welding: an in vitro study

Objective: The welding process involves metal ions capable of causing cell lysis. In view of this fact, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that cytotoxicity is present in different types of alloys (CrNi, TMA, NiTi) commonly used in orthodontic practice when these alloys are subjected to electric spot welding. Methods: Three types of alloys were evaluated in this study. Thirty-six ...

Modelling of Electrode-arc Coupling in Electric Arc Welding

Modelling of the arc in electric arc welding is significant to achieve a better process understanding, thus gain better weld quality and a more efficient production process. It requires knowing the conditions at the surfaces of the anode and cathode. These conditions are very difficult to set from measurements and should be calculated. This requires modelling the complex physics of the electrod...

On Line Monitoring for Defects in Electric Arc Stud Welding

ABSTRACT The application of on-line monitoring system for recording main welding parameters during electric arc stud welding process at different electric arc stability changes is described in this paper. In the first part of the paper, the basics of electric arc stud welding process, and equipment for stud welding and process monitoring used in experimental part is described. In the second par...

Electric eels use high-voltage to track fast-moving prey

Electric eels (Electrophorus electricus) are legendary for their ability to incapacitate fish, humans, and horses with hundreds of volts of electricity. The function of this output as a weapon has been obvious for centuries but its potential role for electroreception has been overlooked. Here it is shown that electric eels use high-voltage simultaneously as a weapon and for precise and rapid el...
