Numerical simulations of weld hardness distributions in ultra-narrow gap GMA welding. Evaluation of weld hardness distributions by numerical simulations of welding thermal cycles and microstructural phase fractions (1st report)
Sep 01, 2006; ... Introduction Welded joints used in some circumstances may generally face the problem of loss of joint performance due to welding heat input as well as welding deformation and welding residual stress. For example, ultra-fine grained steel welds may sustain softening in regions heated in a ...
Evaluation of microstructural phase fractions and hardness distributions of weld metal subjected to multiple thermal cycles. Evaluation of weld hardness distributions by numerical simulations of welding thermal cycles and microstructural phase fractions (2nd report)
Sep 01, 2006; ... Introduction Multipass welding used extensively for fabrication of welded structures is seeing efforts being made to tackle important problems such as the upper limit of the welding heat input and interpass temperature in order to maintain the mechanical properties of welds.1-3 Because ...
Heat input and deformation control in resistance micro-welding of fine nickel wires*
Sep 01, 2006; ... Introduction Micro or small-scale resistance welding has been used since the 1960s for production of small electronic and medical devices. Amid accelerating downsizing of structures seen in recent years, however, scale-down and reliability improvement have been progressively sought in ...
Biofilm adhesion and microbially influenced corrosion of SUS304 welds exposed to dam water
Sep 01, 2006; ... Introduction The authors have previously investigated and analyzed cases of microbially influenced corrosion (referred to below as MIC) in stainless steels exposed to mild fresh water environments such as groundwater, dam water, river water and industrial water.1, 2 Laboratory-based MIC ...
A simplified solution for the evaluation of residual weld stress
Sep 01, 2006; ... (ProQuest Information and Learning: ... denotes formulae omitted.) Introduction Predicting complex phenomena, such as residual stress distribution in weldments, can be profitably performed through the use of simplified analytical methods capable of representing the main process ...
