Rail thermite (or Thermit) welding is a valuable welding technology for the railway industry because of its simplicity, portability, and economy. Using the finite-element method, a heat transfer analysis is conducted in this study. Only the heat transfer by conduction was simulated explicitly in the model, the other thermally significant phenomena were included through the boundary and initial ...

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. ...

This paper deals with Friction stir welding of AZ31B Mg alloy by using H13 Tool at different rotational speeds and welding speeds .Experiments were conducted according to L4 Orthogonal array which was suggested by Taguchi. Optimum parameters for optimum Tensile strength, Hardness and Ductility were found with the help of S/N ratios. Therefore optimization of input process parameter is required ...

in this study, the effect of temperature on the diffusion welding of az31 magnesium alloy and 7075 aluminum was discussed. diffusion welding temperature was the most important parameter since all mechanisms are sensitive to temperature in diffusion welding method. intrusive contacts between the two alloys at temperatures of 430, and 440 °c 450 and took 60 min. in all tests constant pressure and...

Super steel materials play a vital role in the construction and fabrication of structural, piping and pipeline components. In assuring the integrity of onshore and offshore operating systems, they enable life cycle costs to be minimized. In this context, Duplex stainless steel (DSS) material related welding on constructions and fabrications plays a significant role in maintaining and assuring i...

The focus of this work is to design parameters for shielded metal arc welding to ensure continuous and leak proof joints. To achieve the object an attempt has been made to selected important welding parameters. The selected welding parameters are welding current, welding speed, electrode angle and electrode angle. The selection is purely based on field expert’s suggestions, literature Survey an...

in the present study, an ultrafine grained (ufg) 304l stainless steel with the average grain size of 300 nm was produced by a combination of cold rolling and annealing. weldability of the ufg sample was studied by nd: yag laser welding under different welding conditions. taguchi experimental design was used to optimize the effect of frequency, welding time, laser current and laser pulse duratio...
