• 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, ...

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

Welding refers to a wide variety of processes in which metals are joined by fusion. The metal at the interface of two or more parts is melted or fused by application of intense, localised heat. A ...

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 ...

Participants at a workshop exploring the use of titanium structure for ships found that it is not only possible to construct a ship hull from titanium—or Ti, it could be cost effective. The workshop ...

For over 30 years, Sinergo has developed special electromagnetic induction machines. In the last 10 years, the focus has been on the technique of heating composite materials by means of ...

Several techniques are available for joining thermoplastic composites, including resistance welding and ultrasonic welding. While resistance welding uses Joule heating inside an electrically ...
