The welding process is used by many manufacture companies and due to this wide application many studies have been carried out in order to improve the quality and to reduce the cost of welded components. Part of the overheads is employed in final inspection, which begins with visual inspection, followed by destructive and nondestructive testing techniques. In addition to cost raise, final inspec...

We report that individual metallic nanowires and nanoobjects can be assembled and welded together into complex nanostructures and conductive circuits by a new nanoscale electrical welding technique using nanovolumes of metal solder. At the weld sites, nanoscale volumes of a chosen metal are deposited using a sacrificial nanowire, which ensures that the nanoobjects to be bonded retain their stru...

Scientific substantiation and practical confirmation of possibility, expediency and efficiency of application of the ultrasonic superficial plastic deformation in zones of welded connections after performance of welding works is given. For this purpose a mathematical model of process of superficial plastic deformation is represent, as the hypercycle of loading consisting of elementary cycles – ...

The effect of repeated repair welding, shielded with argon, on microstructural properties, corrosion resistance, and dry sliding wear behavior of aluminum alloy 5083/H116 were investigated. Samples were welded by metal inert gas welding method. 100% argon was used to protect fusion zone. Aluminum alloy 5356 was used as the filler metal. The samples for microstructure, corrosion, and wear tests ...

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...

Resistance spot welding is one of the most widely used processes in sheet metal fabrication. Improvements in quality assurance are important to increase welding productivity. Until now, quality estimation was performed using dynamic resistance at the secondary circuit, which is easily measured. However, this method has many problems when applied to in-process real-time systems. In this study, w...
