The objective of this laboratory study was to identify and measure manganese (Mn) fractions in chamber-generated welding fumes (WF) and to evaluate and compare the results from a sequential extraction procedure for Mn fractions with that of an acid digestion procedure for measurement of total, elemental Mn. To prepare Mn-containing particulate matter from representative welding processes, a wel...

The beneficial effect of the friction stir processing (FSP) technique for improving properties fabricated additive parts through microstructural refinement and repairing metallurgical defects has shown its ability to be integrated into a hybrid manufacturing system. In present work, conventional GMAW TIG-based processes were further post-processed with process (FSP). case + processed beads, imp...

Butt welding is an important link to ensure quality, and the penetration state of weld main criterion achieve this. Online monitoring control welded joints measure quality. The molten pool image monitored by a visual sensor in gas metal arc (GMAW) process, bottom width predicted regression network model. Combined with real-time method, current changed monitor real time. Butt-welding experiments...

In this research, the effect of vibration at the resonant range (75 Hz) on the hardness and tensile strength of AA-5083-H321 aluminum alloy, were welded by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) investigated. Vibration forces were ranged from 850 N to 2200 N, under identical welding parameters. Tensile strength and hardness testing of welded samples were performed. After mechanical tests, the fracture su...
