Control of Structure in Conventional Friction Stir Welds through a Kinematic Theory of Metal Flow [PDF]
, 2009 In friction stir welding (FSW), a rotating pin is translated along a weld seam so as to stir the sides of the seam together. Metal is prevented from flowing up the pin, which would result in plowing/cutting instead of welding, by a shoulder on the pin ...

Structural and mechanical properties of radiofrequency N/H cold plasma-nitrided C38 carbon steel
, 2011 C38 carbon steel has been nitrided by radiofrequency cold plasma discharge with the aim to study the effect of gas composition on structural and mechanical properties of nitrided substrates. The plasma nitriding was carried out on unheated substrates, using two different gas mixtures (75% N/25% H and 25% N/75% H) for 8 h of plasma treatment.

Some effects of composition on friction and wear of graphite-fiber-reinforced polyimide liners in plain spherical bearings [PDF]
Oscillating, plain spherical bearings with graphite-fiber-reinforced polyimide (GFRPI) liners were tested for friction and wear from 25 to 315 C. A condensation polymer was compared with an addition polymer, and a high-modulus fiber was compared with a ...
