Three-dimensional welding is investigated as a rapid prototyping technique for the production of real Inetallic parts using gas metal arc welding principles. A high speed machine vision system is used to study the correlation between droplet transfer parameters and resultant weld penetration characteristics. Experimental work is conducted to determine how droplet transfer frequency, droplet siz...

Stud arc welding has become one of the most important unit operations in the mechanical industries. The need to reduce the time from product discovery to market introduction is inevitable. Reducing of standard deviation of tensile strength with desirable tensile strength joint as a performance character was use to illustrate the design procedure. The effects of (welding time, welding current, s...

Electron Beam welding is becoming more important in Indian industries due to the growing automation of the process and superior weld quality, resulting from virtually zero heat affected zone (HAZ). Two main types of defects are often encountered in EB welding joints viz void type defects and crack type. EB welding joints must be radiographically inspected for all these types of defects and it i...

In manufacturing lithium-ion battery packs for electrical vehicles such as the Chevy Volt, it is critical to create reliable interconnections between battery cells, module-to-module, and module-to-control unit. Such joint connections must possess reliable electrical conductivity and sufficient mechanical strength to ensure battery performance. Ultrasonic metal welding has been adopted for batte...

This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of welding rotational and traverse speed on mechanical and microstructural properties of A 430 stainless steel in order to give an effective processing window to achieve an appropriate microstructure and so mechanical properties. There are a wide range industrial uses for ferritic stainless steel. There from they have some problems like grain c...
