Welding fume contains various metals and pulmonary effects from their inhalation are largely unknown. We have studied the effects of exposure to welding fume in sheep. The animals were exposed to either a bolus dose of welding fume solution or to five weeks daily exposure. Lung physiology parameters were studied and biopsies taken. Magnetopneumography was used to register the longterm exposure....

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to produce scarf joint through explosive welding process (EXW). The scarf weld is a process in which the final bond interface is oblique. With applying the explosive welding technique, this joint can create a metallic bond between similar or dissimilar metals. In this study, chamfered end of aluminum and copper plates were joined explosively and named scar...

Due to the different properties of materials, fusion welding dissimilar metals may be difficult. Structural irregularities form as a result various phase transformations during welding. Solid-state welding, opposed occurs below melting temperature. As and solidification phenomena that happen in solid-state is expected reduce potential for transformation. This paper describes use rotary friction...

Welding is an important technology especially for joining between two metals, fabricated and repairing metals products in manufacturing industries such as in automotive industries. To increase the productivity and lower cost, today the welding operation in industries introduces the welding robot. The main challenges to using welding robot is time taken to program robot path for a new job in low...
