in this study, an attempt was made to minimize the corrosion rate and maximize pitting potential of dissimilar metal welded joints of a387-gr91/aisi316 steels. process parameters of the pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding (pcgtaw) including of peak current (p), background current (b), pulse frequency (f), and on time percentage (o) were chosen as the influencing factors on corrosion behavio...

In this study, the effects of the second pulse resistance spot welding on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TRIP1100 steel were evaluated. The thermal process after welding was designed to improve metallurgical properties with pulse currents of 6kA, 9kA and 12kA after initial welding with 10kA current. The effect of the second pulse on mechanical and microstructural properties was...

Amorphous alloys can be electrodeposited by direct or pulsed current. According to electrocrystallization theory, a high crystallization overpotential produces microcrystalline structure in the deposits. Thus if the amorphous phase consists of microcrystals, pulsed current is preferable for preparing amorphous alloys. However, another newly proposed theory holds that the amorphous phase structu...

Pulsed IV analysis allows the development of more accurate nonlinear models for RF and microwave device operation. An analysis of pulsed IV waveforms allows better exploitation of measurement capabilities to produce accurate results. Static and dynamic IV measurement waveforms produced by a commercially available pulsed IV analyzer are examined. Because transistors can become unstable during an...

This paper reports a noncontact inspection method, using Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) stimulated thermography, for the evaluation of the anisotropic dependency of electrical conductivity of steel exposed to tensile stress. This method combines microscope lens based thermography with PEC using a rectangular excitation coil, giving directional excitation, to infer the electromagnetic properties vari...
