In the present paper, a novel solid-state welding method is introduced and investigated
which can be used as a repair method for thick aluminum plates. The process is named …

Repairing links of offshore mooring chains has presented a significant industry challenge,
primarily arising from modifications in material properties, encompassing alterations in …

Mooring chains are key components of offshore floating photovoltaic systems. Although their
service safety is often affected by the harsh service environment, the influence of surface …

Solid-state based welding processes have been a noticeable joining alternative in
comparison to conventional fusion welding technologies. The feasibility of friction welded …

The present study seeks to fill the research gap regarding the correlation between crack-tip
opening displacement (CTOD) and banded microstructures of high-strength low-alloy steel …

Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are widely used in the oil and gas industry. Unfortunately,
fusion welds of these alloys might exhibit inappropriate microstructures, face cracks, and …

Friction hydro-pillar processing is a solid-state process to repair cracks in thick plates, pipes,
and vessels. In this study, this process is modified to be used as a solid-state micro-alloying …

The distribution of residual stresses (RS) in repairs generated by Friction Hydro-Pillar
Processing (FHPP) in AISI H13 was investigated. Three axial force levels, with consequent …

Sažetak The objective of this study is to characterise grade R4 steel manufactured by ingot
casting that is used as the raw material for the production of offshore mooring chains. Rolled …

The article presents the nomenclature of exploration drill pipes with welded tool joints
manufactured at the ZBO Drill Industries, Inc.(Orenburg). Design features of the weld zone …
