TA19 titanium alloy is a novel medium-temperature, high-strength widely used in the aerospace industry, and its welding performance very important for manufacturing of structural parts. In this study, was connected by inertial friction (IFW). After welding, microstructural alloying elements IFW joints were investigated; results showed that microstructures each zone joint different, accumulation...

The welding heat input has a great influence on the weldments properties. This paper describes the influence of welding heat input on the weld metal toughness of high-carbon steel surface welded joint. The steel is surfaced with self-shielded wire, with three different heat inputs (6.5; 10.5 and 16 kJ/cm). Total impact energy, as well as crack initiation and crack propagation energies, are esti...

Recently, battery-based hybridization of gasoline and diesel engines has become a rapidly expanding global market. A lot of research and development activities have been focused on both advanced batteries and fuel cells to achieve their efficient mass production capabilities and drive this technology into successful commercialization. A variety of joining processes are required for the assembly...

The health monitoring of structural joints is a major concern of the engineering community and needs to be addressed with the proper consideration. Among joining techniques, the spot welding and weld-bonding (spot weld + adhesive bonding) methods are of great interest in a number of industries. Spot welding is the traditional assembly method for steel-based automotive structures, while weld-bon...

The Gas Metal Arc Welding Process is characterized by many important process outputs, all of which should be controlled to ensure consistent high performance joints. However, application of multivariable control methods is confounded by the strong physical coupling of typical outputs of bead shape and thermal properties. This coupling arises form he three dimensional thermal diffusion processes...

High strength steels Q690+Q550 were welded using three different welding wires without preheating by gas shielded arc welding process. Microstructural characteristics of weld metals and nucleation mechanism of acicular ferrite were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The straight Y-groove test ...

Abstract This study examined the effect of induction heating on microstructure and corrosion characteristics hybrid friction stir welded AISI 410 stainless steel. Five joints have been produced with different welding parameters like speed, spindle plunge depth, power. Their microstructures were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope, chemical composition was energy-dispersive X-ray spec...
