Prediction of impact toughness based on the microstructural characteristics of steel weld
metals is complicated due to the innumerous parameters involved. The common practice …

The wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process enables the creation and repair of
complex structures based on the successive deposition of fed metal in the form of a wire that …

The microstructural optimization for selective laser melted 15-5PH stainless steel via heat
treatment to enhance corrosion resistance was investigated. The results showed that after …

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal 3D printing technique that allows large-
scale elements to be built in a relatively timely and cost-effective manner, well suited to the …

Bamboo is widely planted in the world and many species of bamboo are intensively used as
sustainable bio-composite materials in the construction of houses, pavilions, furniture and …

In this study, wire arc additive manufacturing process is employed to fabricate a low-carbon
low-alloy steel block, using an ER70S-6 solid wire. Three sets of samples with different …

Thick stainless steel clad plate is used widely in the petroleum and petrochemical industries
because of its low cost and good corrosion resistance. It is generally welded by the …

Natural bamboo node samples bended from two opposite radial directions (Type I and Type
II) displayed asymmetric flexural fracture process and behaviors. The real-time flexural …

Underwater laser direct metal deposition (UDMD) technique shows great potential for the on-
site repair of damaged structures in the ocean. In this study, aiming at the possibility of …

Detecting welding defects is a key aspect in the safety assessment of pressure vessels.
Using non-destructive testing methods to reveal influences of welding defects on the …
