Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...

A new technology developed by a Cavendish Nuclear-led consortium enables real time detection of defects in fusion welding processes as they occur. The AWESIM project test rig at NAMRC (Image: ...

Friction stir welding joins previously unweldable materials. Friction stir welding, a relatively new process, is having a tremendous impact on welding dissimilar alloys. It was developed in 1991 by ...

For some materials and material combinations the use of fusion welding is not practicable. Intermetallics may be formed at the joint interface or cracking may occur at or near the interface, which ...
