Ultrasonic Characterization of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Thermal Variations

This work focuses on the ultrasonic characterization and hardness of Austenitic stainless steel in thermal variation. The sample which was heat treated at 1050 o C has the highest hardness value and plays a dominant role in dispersion of carbides. Shear wave velocity and hardness show similar trend in variation with temperature. The effect of volume expansion would be to decrease the elastic co...

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Electro-Discharge Machining

An ultrasonic vibration has been superposed on the normal electrode movement to increase the flushing effect during a micro electro-discharge machining (EDM) process. A systematic study on the effects of ultrasonic vibration on the EDM performance for fabricating microholes in Nitinol has been completed. The introduction of ultrasonic vibration to the microEDM process has more than 60 times inc...

Measuring of Residual Stress in TIG Welding of the 304 Stainless Steel by Ultrasonic Method

In this research, the effect of different welding parameters on residual stress and microstructure of the weld region, as well as the comparison of two methods of measuring residual stress using critical fracture longitudinal wave method and preformation method have been investigated. For this purpose, the taguchi DOE methodology is used as a statistical method to optimize four parameters of pu...
