Energy saving has become a priority for welding industry. This is due to the recent increase
in energy demand and constraints in carbon emissions. Increasing environmental demands …

The deposition of new alloy to replace a worn or damaged surface layer is a common
strategy for repairing or remanufacturing structural components. For high-performance …

The deposition of new alloy to replace a worn or damaged surface layer is a common

The present paper aims to analyze the microstructure, microhardness, tensile properties,
and low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of friction stir welded (FSW) butt joints. The material …

This study investigates the microstructural, mechanical, high-cycle fatigue, and fracture
behaviour of a dissimilar 2017A-T451/7075-T651 Al alloy joint produced by single-pass …

Dissimilar friction stir welding of AA5052-AA6061 was conducted to assess the effect of
material positioning on the welds produced using tools with predetermined eccentricity …

A novel model is proposed to assess the fatigue lifetime of notched components under
uniaxial loading conditions in the medium/high-cycle fatigue regime. It is based on the Finite …

This paper presents the results of experimental tests and a numerical investigation of the
fatigue behavior of butt-lap friction stir welded (FSW) joints used in highway bridge decks …

Manufacturing of product requires the joining of materials at one point or the other during the
product manufacturing process. There are a number of joining processes that are used …

Weld distortion refers to the phenomenon of shrinkage around the weld seam and warping
of the outer weldment edges. This leads to a deviation from the original straight force transfer …
