• 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: ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since it is difficult to weld aluminum and copper with other methods, this process is a perfect method of combining aluminum and copper.. Welding, as implied by the name, usually involves the joining ...

As chief engineer for all resistance and forge welding activities at the Edison Welding Institute, Jerry Gould has focused on resistance spot welding and coated-sheet steels. He has published more ...
