Concrete is a material that is widely used in the construction market due to its availability
and cost, although it is prone to fracture formation. Therefore, there has been a surge in …

The application of an external field is a promising method to control the microstructure of
materials, leading to their improved performance. In the present paper, the strengthening …

The local stress concentration created by the seam welding process often reduces the
fatigue life of the material along and around the seam. Post-welding heat treatment is …

To improve the performance of probeless friction stir spot welded (P-FSSW) joints, a fast
electric pulse treatment (EPT) method was proposed firstly, and the microstructure evolution …

This study aims to demonstrate the use of a novel treatment approach for fatigue crack
healing. High-density pulsed electric currents, which have been widely used for fatigue …

Fluctuating energy distributions experienced during Additive Manufacturing yield an
evolution of spatial and temporal transients within a part. In general, the in-situ monitoring of …

The cracks near the interface between the Amed part and substrate due to differences in
physical and chemical properties will deteriorate the metallurgical bonding. Here it was …

This study evaluated the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life of type 316 austenitic stainless steel to
determine the effect of multiple high-density pulsed electric currents (HDPECs). Fatigue …

Defect healing through pulsed electric current treatment is an important work worthy of
further discussion. 6061-T6 aluminum alloy specimens were subjected to the fatigue loading …

This study demonstrates the complete closure of a crack and subsequent materials healing
via a solid-state process upon application of high-density electric current pulses. This novel …
