Process identification in the field of resistance spot welding can be used to improve welding quality and to speed up the set-up of a new welding process. Previously, good classification results of welding processes have been obtained using a feature set consisting of 54 features extracted from current and voltage signals recorded during welding. In this study, the usability of the individual f...

Laser welding is an advance non-traditional and high energy beam welding technique for dissimilar material, which is being increasingly used in industries like automobile, nuclear reactors, aerospace etc. Again it is a very tough task to joining dissimilar materials due to their properties variation. In this present work two dissimilar metals such as copper and AISI 304 stainless steel are take...

Welding is used in a wide range of heavy and light industry, construction and maintenance, including vehicle construction. Workers using welding processes are exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMF). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has published guidelines on limits of the exposure to static magnetic fields and on guidelines limiting the exposure to ti...

Research is connected with elaboration of the calculating module VarWELD, using MS Excel software, for item-by-item examination of various combinations of variable parameters of spot resistance welding as well as analysis of possible solutions for managing the characteristics of the process. Mentioned examination is one of the main stages of analogue modeling. Analogue modeling is new perspecti...

The most common problem of welding dissimilar metals (DMWs) with respect to residual stresses is the differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion and heat conductivity of the two welded metals. In the present work, a CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and low carbon steel plates. The Taguchi approa...
