Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that can be used for different purposes
have enabled it to be used in many different industrial applications. These are mainly used …

Aluminum drill pipes have high specific strength but poor wear resistance, which often
results in the failure of the pipes in field applications, owing to wear and corrosion. In this …

The present work investigates the influence of laser peening without coating (LPwC) on the
fatigue and fretting wear behaviour of AISI 304 alloy subjected to one and five peening …

This experimental investigation describes the effect of tilt angle and rotational speed on the
characteristics of welding defects, intermetallic compounds, weld strength and micro …

Abstract Steel (St) and aluminum (Al) have a high affinity to each other and form intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) when bonded by friction stir welding (FSW). Understanding the effect of …

The microstructure-tensile response correlation in a crack-free laser powder-bed fusion
(LPBF) Hastelloy X Ni-based superalloy is investigated. The LPBF process parameters in …

Joining of aluminum alloys through friction stir welding (FSW) is effectively employed in
several industries (eg, aeronautics and aerospace) since it guarantees proper weld strength …

Mechanical properties like strength and hardness depend largely on microstructure. The
conventional methods to evaluate microstructure such as optical and electron-based …

The AA2219/304SS bars are inertia friction welded. Research demonstrated high heat input
can promote the precipitation of the strengthening phases to form the Cu-rich layer. Whereas …

One of the challenges during FSW of pipe is establishing sufficient contact between the tool
shoulder and the pipes to be welded. With improper contact, the torque requirement …
