AA 6061 has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of the light structures required to high strength. Compared to the fusion welding processes that are used for joining structural aluminium alloys, friction stir welding (FSW) process is an emerging solid state joining process in which the material that is being welded does not melt and recast. In this experimental work, an extensive invest...

The unabated growth of the steel industry and progressively increasing operating loads on metal structures generate a need for a search for optimum engineering solutions to improve the loadcarrying capacity and reduce metal consumption. One way of resolving this problem is to utilise high-strength steels. It is common knowledge however that the improvement of the steel strength is accompanied b...

This paper examines the application of the incremental slitting technique for residual stress measurement to plastically deformed four-point bent beams and autogenously edge welded steel beams. Initially a study into a number of factors affecting the series expansion approach was conducted. Due to the over-determined nature of the series expansion approach appropriate selection of polynomial se...

Evaluation of welding process such as metal inert gas welding and tungsten inert gas arc welding on tensile, bend and hardness properties of austenitic stainless steel SS347H(18Cr 10Ni 1Cb ), T22(21⁄4Cr Mo) and T91(9Cr 1Mo V) grades are studied. Tubes of 54 mm of outer diameter and 4 mm of wall thickness is used as a base material in the following combination SS347H VS T91 and T91 VS T22 is wel...

It is well known that the mechanical properties of materials depend of the rolling direction, which means that the direction of specimen cutting affect the obtained values. This feature also exists in the welded joint, where the anisotropy is caused by direction of the deposit welded layers. One high-carbon steel is surface welded by flux-cored wire and specimens were cut in order to determine ...

Corrugated steel web with inherent high out-of-plane stiffness has a promising application in configuring large span highway bridge girders. Due to the irregularity of the configuration details, the local stress concentration poses a major fatigue problem for the welded flange plates of high strength low alloy structural steels. In this work, the methods of applying CFRP laminate and shot peeni...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is the most popular joining technique used by automotive industries for the manufacture of automobile body structure. In automobile industries, the weight saving effect of replacing steel parts is an important factor in reducing fuel consumption and increasing speed and natural resources savings. In this study, A5052 aluminium alloy sheet having 1 mm thickness were...

In built-up structures, one of the effective ways of dissipating unwanted vibration is to exploit the occurrence of slip at the interfaces of structural laminates. The present work focuses on the dynamic analysis of welded structures. A mathematical formulation has been developed for the mechanism of slip damping in layered and welded mild steel beams with unequal thickness subjected to both pe...

stress relieving is a common practice among manufacturing codes for reducing the magnitude ofresidual stresses in welded, quenched, and tempered steel structures and pressure vessels. the presentwork investigates the effect of stress relieving at 480, 560, 620, and 680°c on the microstructure andmechanical properties of 20 mm astm a517 gr. b steel plate weldments produced by shielded metal arcw...
