Effect of the tool tilt angle on the heat generation and the material flow in friction stir welding [PDF]
This work studies the effect of the tool tilt angle on the generated heat and the material flow in the work pieces joint by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). An apropos kinematic framework together with a two-stage speed-up strategy is adopted to simulate the

Knowledge discovery for friction stir welding via data driven approaches: Part 1 – correlation analyses of internal process variables and weld quality [PDF]
For a comprehensive understanding towards Friction Stir Welding (FSW) which would lead to a unified approach that embodies materials other than aluminium, such as titanium and steel, it is crucial to identify the intricate correlations between the ...

Barriers to Utilisation of Sexual Health Services by Female Sex Workers in Nepal [PDF]
Sexual health services are relatively rare in Nepal. Female sex workers (FSWs) do not use health services as much as would be desirable. A study was conducted to identify barriers to access of sexual health services by FSWs in Nepal.

Optimum rotational speed in FSW of copper canisters for nuclear waste [PDF]
The high-level radioactive waste will be encapsulated in copper canisters and stored in a deep repository. High power electron beam welding was the only viable method available at that time for welding thick section copper. In recent years, friction stir

Corrosion behavior of friction stir welded AZ31B Mg alloy - Al6063 alloy joint
In the present work, AZ31B Mg alloy and Al6063 alloy-rolled sheets were successfully joined by friction stir welding. Microstructural studies revealed a sound joint with good mechanical mixing of both the alloys at the nugget zone.
