...Abbas Habibalahi; Masoumeh Habibalahi; Kaveh Samadian Welding is a manufacturing process of joining components that is dominant in industries that include civil, oil and gas, automotive, etc. Although it has various benefits, welding still causes residual stresses to remain in a component after...

... materials and welded joints suffers a lack of specialized testing methods, that are able to detect the most cracking susceptible area of the weld and result in a definite “pass or fail” distinction for every single experiment without leaving ambiguity in the interpretation of testing results...

...Jesús Romero; Rogelio Hernández; Filiberto Fernández; Fortino Mercado; Eric van Walle This paper describes the development of the stud welding process for reconstitution of Charpy specimens for the surveillance program at the Mexican nuclear power plants. The surveillance program objective...

...J Heerens; D Hellmann The fracture toughness of laser beam welded ferritic steel has been measured in the ductile-to-brittle transition regime using precracked bend specimens. The precracked welded specimens showed a complex fracture behavior, which involves crack path deviation. It was found...

...JA Martínez; HP Kugler; S Merino; H Drude; AJ Criado A comparative study was made of the mechanical behavior of the different zones in a welded joint of hypoeutectoid steel, using the uniaxial tension test supported by other conventional techniques. Applying the optoelectronic method to recording...

...MJ Bibby; L-M Chong; JA Goldak The “weld test method” of predicting heat-affected zone (HAZ) hardness first suggested by Stout el al is further developed in this investigation.

...WH Tang The prediction and control of flaws in welds occupy an important role in design against fatigue and fracture failure. However, the present NDT devices can detect only a fraction of the flaws and they do not give the actual size of flaws detected. Using Bayes Theorem, a framework is proposed...
