Very often, in order to optimized welded constructions, some of their parts are made of heterogeneous steels. For example, microalloyed steels are in use for cars chassis making and high alloyed steels for different constructions making. From that reason, it’s not rare to find welded joints between ferrite microalloyed and austenitic highalloyed steels. As a rule, these joints are welded by usi...

Submerged arc welding process is usually employed for welding of thick workpieces. Quality of submerged arc welded components depends on various factors. Selection of appropriate process parameters for joining metallic components is needed to obtain sound weldment. Many researchers carried out investigations to find out appropriate process conditions to obtain quality submerged arc welded compo...

Distribution of residual stresses arising after welding is quite complex and inhomogeneous. Many factors have influence on the magnitude and the profile of the stress distribution curve. In the present paper an x-ray technique was used to analyze the residual stress distribution in steel sheets jointed by industrial welding with linear or circular weld seams. Interpretation of experimental resu...

The induction of emotional states has repeatedly been shown to affect cognitive processing capacities. At a neurophysiological level, P3 amplitude responses that are associated with attention allocation have been found to be reduced to task-relevant stimuli during emotional conditions as compared to neutral conditions suggesting a draining impact of emotion on cognitive resources. Attachment th...

Braided wire stents demonstrate distinct characteristics compared to welded ones. In this study, both braided and welded wire stents with the same nominal dimensions were crimped inside a sheath and then deployed into a stenosed artery using finite element analysis. The braided wire stent was generated by overlapping wires to form crisscross shape. A welded wire stent was created by welding the...

Introduction/purpose: During exploitation tests of gasoline storage tanks, cracks can form in an austenitic-ferrite welded joint, which compromise the entire tank. Methods: In order to obtain a joint satisfactory strength and durability, paper analyzes influence heat input on tensile characteristics joints. current literature practice, additional materials for welding tank elements are selected...

A finite element scheme for simulation of welding residual stresses is presented in this paper. Detailed thermal and residual stress analyses for butt-welded and socket-welded pipes are performed using ANSYS and ABAQUS. The calculated distribution of axial stress and hoop stress at welded joint are validated against experimental results. Furthermore, residual stress relaxation under high amplit...
