Similar and dissimilar material joints of AISI grade 304 (1.4301) and AISI grade 316 (1.4401)
austenitic stainless steel by solid state diffusion bonding and transient liquid phase (TLP) …

Tube-to-tubesheet joints are one of the major vulnerable locations prone to cracks in heat
exchangers. The manufacturing processes of these joints have an important role in …

Flow boiling is used in air-conditioning and refrigeration, thermal management of
electronics, distillation, chemical synthesis, desalination, power generation, and cryogenics …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the bonding time on the transient liquid
phase (TLP) bonding of SAF 2507 super duplex stainless steel to AISI 304 austenitic …

Recently, tube-to-tubesheet joint expansion has been used in heat exchanger applications
in modern manufacturing as a combination of rolling, hydraulic pressure, and explosion. The …

To achieve ultra-strong joint performance and high processing efficiency of joining dissimilar
metals, a novel hybrid process, Expanding-Welding method (EW), was proposed. EW …

Ultrasonic C-scan was conducted to detect the defect size of TC4 diffusion-bonded joints
quantitatively. Additionally, C-scan images were obtained using the amplitudes of time …

The stress distribution on boiler tubesheets becomes very complex due to the combined
effects of thermal-mechanical load and residual stress from expansion in numerous …

Supercharged boilers are widely used as the core equipment of ship steam-power plants. A
1: 1 model is built considering the connection details of tube-tubesheet joints. Furthermore …

In this paper, diffusion bonding was adopted to join 9Cr martensitic/ferritic heat-resistant
steels using an electrodeposited Ni interlayer with a thickness of 40 μm. In addition, the …
