...Elisaveta Doncheva; Nikola Avramov; Aleksandra Krstevska; Martin Petreski; Jelena Djokikj; Marjan Djidrov Purpose Welding is a widely used manufacturing process in many industries. The process consumes a lot of energy and resources, pollutes the environment, and emits gases and fumes...

...Mayur Pratap Singh; Dinesh Kumar Shukla; Rajneesh Kumar; Kanwer Singh Arora Purpose The key purpose of conducting this review is to identify the issues that affect the structural integrity of pipeline structures. Heat affected zone (HAZ) has been identified as the weak zone in pipeline welds which...

...Sp. Pantelakis; Elias P. Koumoulos; Costas A. Charitidis; Nikolaos M. Daniolos; Dimitrios I. Pantelis Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine if the nanoindentation technique is a reliable method and whether it can be used to measure the surface hardness (H) in friction stir welded...

...Mario Guagliano; A. Krasovskyy; D. Bachmann Purpose The present work aims to deal with a very high cycle fatigue (n=10⁹ cycles) of gas metal arc welded joints, subjected to a multiaxial and non‐proportional loading. Different design codes and recommendations can greatly reduce...

...S. Thirunavukkarasu; B.P.C. Rao; G.K. Sharma; Viswa Chaithanya; C. Babu Rao; T. Jayakumar; Baldev Raj; Aravinda Pai; T.K. Mitra; Pandurang Jadhav Purpose Development of non‐destructive methodology for detection of arc strike, spatter and fusion type of welding defects which may form on steam...

...T. Ghidini; C. Dalle Donne; U. Alfaro Mercado Purpose Friction stir welding (FSW) is simple, clean and cost effective joining technology which allows high‐quality joining of materials that have been traditionally troublesome to weld conventionally without distortion, cracks or voids such as high...

... A complete picture of the striation spacing during the fatigue crack growth up to final fracture of a two‐stiffener flat panel is provided for three different manufacturing processes: high‐speed machining, laser beam welding and friction stir welding. Specimen HSM01, R=0.1, presented a fatigue...
