Friction-stir welding is a refreshing approach to the joining of metals. Although originally
intended for aluminium alloys, the reach of FSW has now extended to a variety of materials …

Our safety, comfort and peace of mind are heavily dependent upon our capability to prevent,
predict or postpone the failure of components and structures on the basis of sound physical …

A method for modeling the effect of stress relaxation at high temperatures during laser direct
energy deposition processes is experimentally validated for Ti-6Al-4V samples subject to …

This work investigates the influence of multi-step laser polishing on microstructural
properties of the remelted surface layer of tool steel H11. Four different sets of process …

A concise yet a fairly comprehensive overview of the friction stir welding (FSW) process is
provided. This is followed by a computational investigation in which FSW behavior of a …

An attractive, alternative approach for the reduction of harmful residual stresses in weld
zones is reviewed, which utilises low temperature, solid-state, displacive phase …

To study the mechanical behavior of the interface region that appears when dissimilar
metals are deposited by additive manufacturing process, maraging steel was deposited on …

A great deal of effort goes into production of modern steel for structural applications. The
structural integrity of the steel becomes compromised when it is welded to form engineering …

Residual stress in the vicinity of a weld can have a large influence on structural integrity.
Here the extent to which the martensite-start temperature of the weld filler metal can be …

Weld filler alloys that exploit transformation plasticity through low austenite to martensite
transformation temperatures offer an effective method of reducing residual stresses in strong …
