Friction Processes (Page 3)

Every year at FABTECH, the AWS Professional Program offers a full lineup of educational sessions led by industry experts on new developments and best practices in welding. This year, EWI is pleased to present eight technical talks in the program: Evolution of Analytical Modeling Approaches for Resistance Spot Welding: A Historical Perspective — Jerry Gould, Senior...

When it comes to manufacturing new lightweight, yet strong components for new passenger jets, scientists are treating the process like trying to brew the most delicious cup of coffee. By using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are intelligently and automatically selecting the perfect...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have always been considered “unweldable,” and have been joined mechanically in the past. Now, however, EWI reports that aluminum MMCs can be joined using friction stir welding, a solid-state joining method. This investigation is discussed in Friction Stir Welding of Metal Matrix Composites, written by EWI Senior Engineer Michael Eff. You...
