This work investigated the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) tool rotation rate and speed on grain structure evolution in nugget zone through thickness 10 mm thick AA5083/AA5754 weldments. Three joints were produced at different combinations FSW parameters. The texture using electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). In addition, both hardness tensile properties investigated. It was found that size varied (NG), which reduced from top to base all welds. Reducing 600 rpm 400 a constant 60...
The increasing demand for materials possessing enhanced mechanical strength, high thermal conductivity, and excellent electrical properties has grown significantly. Cu-matrix composites, especially Cu– Ni, present a promising candidate to fulfill these demands. In this study, Cu–Ni composites were successfully synthesized using powder metallurgy with various additions (0–1.5 wt%) of Yttria (Y2O3)-reinforcement aiming enhance their mechanical, thermal, properties. microstructural...
This paper discusses the avoidance of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in a medium manganese stainless steel X20CrNiMnVN18-5-10.
