The objective of this paper is to describe and analyze a series of nonlinear finite element analyses used to compare three design methods for locally slender, braced, steel beams and columns. The three design methods are: (i) the hot-rolled steel AISC Specification, (ii) the coldformed steel AISI Specification which uses the effective width method throughout, and (iii) the cold-formed steel Dir...

In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...

Abstract In this study, a numerical model for the evolution of plastic anisotropy is investigated purpose stamping method design by Finite Element (FE) analysis and proved experimentally via process simulations cold-rolled austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) sheet. The sheets described with fourth-order homogenous polynomial yield function modelling approach enhanced strain dependent material...

AISI D6 tool steel and 304 stainless are among the most widely used material in industry. However, this application field can still be expanded through coatings deposition. In regard, objective of work was to evaluate impact by cathodic cage technique using Hastelloy’s cage, on corrosion resistance these steels. Two treatment temperatures were compared. The samples characterized Optical Microsc...
