In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for...

In this work, silver nanowire inks with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) binders were coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and welded via flash white light and ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation to produce highly conductive transparent electrodes. The coated silver nanowire films were firmly welded and embedded into PET substrate successfully at room temperature and under amb...

We investigated the effect of welding parameters on ultimate tensile strength of structural steel, ST37-2, welded by Metal Active Gas welding. A fractional factorial design was used for determining the significance of six parameters: wire feed rate, welding voltage, welding speed, travel angle, tip-to-work distance, and shielded gas flow rate. A regression model to predict ultimate tensile stre...

In ultrasonic welding, high frequency vibrations are combined with pressure to join two materials together quickly and securely. Ultrasonic welding can join dissimilar metals in a split second, ultrasonic welding eases problematic assembly and this cost effective technique may be key to mass producing fuel efficient. In this work effect of various parameters on weld strength have been studied. ...

Recently friction stir welding for manufacturing of welded tubes has been developed. Friction stir welding is a continuous solid state welding process in which a non-consumable rotating tool using severe plastic deformation Can join materials can be join materials. Commonly, a portion of a specially shaped rotating tool is plunged between metalsjoint cross section and adjacent faces of the join...

Like all steel types, HSLA requires a definition and strict practical adherence to welding parameters in order to achieve the required weld quality. Different sources offer a varying array of welding parameters. Although their hierarchical importance can be disputed, their principal definition and practical adherence are prerequisites for the quality of welded joints 1,2 . The analysis of earli...

The electron beam welding technique was used to join Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 bulk metallic glass (BMG) to crystalline pure Zr. Compositional, microstructural, and mechanical property variations across the welded interface were evaluated. It is shown that a crystalline layer develops close to the welding interface. Transmission electron microscopy of this layer indicates the crystalline phase to be...

in this paper, the optimum shape of tailor-welded blanks (twb) is investigated. the optimization is performed for two different case studies. the first example is deep drawing of a twb with dissimilar materials and uniform thicknesses and the next example is deep drawing of a twb with similar materials and non-uniform thicknesses. the effect of blank optimization on the weld line movement is in...

The present paper describes fuzzy logic simulation of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process to predict the Quality of weld joint. It describe the quality of weld joint & effect of welding current, voltage and welding speed on tensile strength of shielded metal arc pipe welded mild steel joints. An ERW Mild steel pipe I S 1239 of 6 mm thickness and 150 mm diameter were used as the base mater...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the general-purpose detectors to be provided for the LHC project at CERN. The design field of the CMS superconducting magnet is 4 T, the magnetic length is 12.5 m and the free bore is 6 m. In order to withstand the electro-mechanical forces during the operation of the CMS magnet, the superconducting cable embedded in a 99.998% pure aluminum matrix is re...
