Conventional infrared lasers (1070 nm) are not ideal for processing materials such as copper or gold. The reason for this is the corresponding high reflectivity of the aforementioned materials for infrared radiation. Since 2017, so-called “green lasers” {wavelengths around 500 nm [Kaliudis, see https://www.trumpf.com/de DE/magazin/gruene-welle-fuer...

The present article reports selected results of a preliminary study of the process of skew rolling of bimetallic rods. The experiments were conducted using a numerically controlled three-roller skew rolling mill. During the tests, bimetallic rods were rolled from billets whose cores and outer sleeves (bushings) were made of different types of steel...

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is a well-established joining process and offers the user flexibility to weld a large range of materials. Ultra-thin turbine tipping is an important application for TIG welding that is exceptionally challenging due to the wide range of variables needed to accurately control the process: slope times, arc control, tra...

In this paper, laser welding-brazing of 304 stainless steel (SS) and Al2O3 ceramic dissimilar metal material was carried out. The results showed that the SS and Al2O3 were joined by melting filler metal when the laser was focused on the SS side of the joint. One process was one pass welding involving creation of a joint with one fusion weld and one...

Risk of early-onset dementia (EOD) might be modified by environmental factors and lifestyles, including diet. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between dietary habits and EOD risk. We recruited 54 newly-diagnosed EOD patients in Modena (Northern Italy) and 54 caregivers as controls. We investigated dietary habits through a food f...

Abstract—One of the joints of a liquid metal fast neutron reactor is the main circulation pump. The fabrication technology of the most labor-intensive joint of the main circulation pump, the pressure chamber, which is a complex welded structure made of 10Kh15N9S3B3 (EP-302Sh) sheet steel, is optimized and the fixtures and accessories are developed ...

The purpose of the research was to obtain an arc welded joint of a preliminary quenched high-carbon wear resistant steel without losing the structure that is previously obtained by heat treatment. 120Mn3Si2 steel was chosen for experiments due to its good resistance to mechanical wear. The fast cooling of welding joints in water was carried out rig...

Heat conduction joining is mainly used in laser-based joining of metals with polymers but results in a large amount of dissipated heat. The consideration of thermal efficiency allows the determination of power actually used for creating the joint, which is highly relevant for technical and economic reasons, e.g., for calculating the carbon footprin...

One of the main limitations in application of nanostructured carbide-free bainite as a construction material is the difficulty of joining. This research presents a structural characterization of welded joints of medium carbon 55Si7 grade steel after the welding process with a regeneration technique as well as post welding heat treatment (PWHT). The...
