The reliability of welded structure can be evaluated through welding residual stress analysis and fatigue strength assessment. In this study, welding residual stresses of multi-pass dissimilar material welded joint between alloy 617 and 12Cr steel were analyzed numerically and experimentally. Fatigue strength was then assessed in the air. Based on results of welding residual stress analysis and...

Welding of dissimilar magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys is an important issue because of their increasing applications in industries. In this document, the research and progress of a variety of welding techniques for joining dissimilar Mg alloys and Al alloys are reviewed from different perspectives. Welding of dissimilar Mg and Al is challenging due to the formation of brittle intermetallic...

Resistance spot welding is a process with high productivity and level of automation. This rises number tasks related to development quality evaluation monitoring systems operating in real-time mode which would allow detect non-compliant joints during the run shortly after it finished. The more complex task make such system as much universal possible, consisting relatively simple equipment possi...
