The present work demonstrates that friction stir welding (FSW) is a feasible route for joining 6061 aluminium (Al) alloy to AISI 1018 steel. The weld has a good weld quality and is free of cracks and porosity. The tensile failure happened at the boundary between the nugget and thermomechanically affected zone of the base Al alloy, indicating that the weld has a higher joining strength. Despite ...

Gas Metal arc Welding (GMABQ has become the most addely used process for joining of steel plates due to its high productixity, simplicity of equipment and ease of use. Although the process of melting of the electrode and development of the weld deposit has been studied for 40 years, the dynamic nature of the process has not been studied in detail because accurate models are computationally inte...

In ultrasonic welding, high frequency vibrations are combined with pressure to join two materials together quickly and securely. Ultrasonic welding can join dissimilar metals in a split second, ultrasonic welding eases problematic assembly and this cost effective technique may be key to mass producing fuel efficient. In this work effect of various parameters on weld strength have been studied. ...

this paper was aimed to report the 3d finite element analysis simulation of laser welding process of ti6al4v 1.7 mm sheets in butt joint in order to predict the temperature distribution, hardness, and weld geometry. the butt-joint welds were made using co2 laser with the maximum power of 2.2 kw in the continuous wave mode. a part of the experimental work was carried out to verify the weld geome...

Visual sensing technology is widely used in welding practices because visual devices are decreasing in price, increasing in reliability and improving in image processing hardware and software. As the most studied welding sensor, CCD(Charge Coupled Device) is more suitable for quality control of welding process than other means of sensing devices because it can obtain both two dimensional and th...

The Gas Metal Arc welding process was used to prepare single-track and multilayer samples. effects of CaF2 TiO2 on the penetration width depth samples are studied. results show that addition these two active agents will reduce surface morphology quality single-track, but it deepen single-track. Compared with sample CaF2, can maintain a better single track while increasing penetration. ratio eff...

In order to expand the application range of laser welding and improve weld quality, an extra pulse current was used to aid laser-welded 2219 aluminum alloy, and the effects of pulse current parameters on the weld microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The effect mechanisms of the pulse current interactions with the weld pool were evaluated. The results indicated that the co...

Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT), which is a peening method, is usually used as a post-weld treatment in order to improve the fatigue strength of welded joints. In this study, fatigue tests were carried out on web-gusset welded joints treated by UIT and the results were compared with the fatigue lives of as-welded joints in order to examine the effects of UIT on the fatigue lives of welded joi...

Weld corrosion exists widely in the petrochemical industry and attracts great attention. Most research proves that weld originates from material factors introduced during welding process. However, it is noted local fluid turbulence due to reinforcement height (WRH) plays an important role non-uniform of welds flowing media. Accordingly, individual effect flow on low alloy steel was analyzed by ...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) has been used widely to join sheet metals. It has been a challenge to get required weld quality in spot welding of dissimilar thickness materials. Weld parameters are not generally available in standards for thickness beyond 4mm. This paper presents the welding process design and parameter optimization of RSW used in joining of low carbon steel sheet of thickness 0...
