The use of TWB has been developed in automotive industries because of it’s advantages such as reduction in weight, cost and fuel economy of vehicles. The main objective of the peresent work is to study the effects of weld zone, diffrence in surface coating and thickness ratio on the formability of TWB composed of AISI 304, SPCC and IF steel sheets. It was found that the narrow weld zone has lit...

Friction Surfacing Cladding (FSC) is a relatively new solid state process to deposit thin metallic clad layers on substrates. It employs a hollow rotating tool that supplies the clad material. Frictional and viscous heating take place that soften the clad material and enhance the bonding of the clad material to the substrate. Thin layers of commercially pure aluminium can be deposited well on a...

Double-clad photonic crystal fiber and double-clad fiber have been widely used in multiphoton-excited fluorescence or second-harmonic generation (SHG) endoscopy. We provide a useful comparison of two fibers used in nonlinear optical microendoscopy. While a double-clad fiber is found to have a higher percentage of the output power from its core, which results in the efficient utilization of the ...
