This article explains the use of the response surface method to produce the optimum tensile strength for the joining of dissimilar metals with the continuous drive friction welding method. The joining of dissimilar metals is one of the biggest challenges in providing industrial applications. Continuous drive friction welding has been extensively used as one of the important solid-state welding processes. In this study, the optimization of the friction welding process parameters is established to achieve the maximum tensile strength in AA6061 and AISI304 dissimilar joints via the response surface methodology. The effect of continuous drive friction welding parameters, which are friction pressure, friction time, upset pressure, and upset time, are investigated using response surface analysis. The design matrix factors are set as 27 experiments based on Box-Behnken. The 3D surface and the contour is plotted for this model to accomplish the tensile strength optimization. The optimization model of the tensile strength was verified by conducting experiments on the optimum values of the parameters based on the experimental data results. It can be denoted that the optimum process parameters settings were friction pressure = 25 MPa, friction time = 6 seconds, upset pressure = 140 MPa, and upset time = 8 seconds, which would result in a maximum tensile strength of 228.57 MPa.

The object of the studies was A390.0 alloy (AlSi17Cu5Mg), similar to A3XX.X series, gravity cast into sand and metal moulds. This alloy is mainly used for cast pistons operating in I.C. engines, for cylinder blocks and housings of compressors, and for pumps and brakes. The A390.0 alloy was poured at temperatures 880 and 980°C, holding the melt for 30 minutes and casting from the temperature of 780°C. The assessment of the impact of the degree of overheating was to analysis the tensile strength. Studies were carried out on a normal-running fatigue testing machine, which was the mechanically driven resonant pulsator. For the needs of quantitative reliability evaluation and the time-to-failure evaluation, the procedures used in survival analysis, adapted to the analysis of failure-free operation with two-parametric Weibull distributions, were applied. Having determined the boundary value σ0 for Weibull distribution, the value of „m” modulus was computed along with other coefficients of material reliability, proposed formerly by the authors. Basing on the obtained results, a model of Weibull distribution function was developed for the tensile strength with respective graphic interpretation.

Dissimilar welding between low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel using both Tungsten inert gas and metal inert gas welding has been reported. However, the combination of SS304 and mild steel has less tensile strength in both TIG and MIG welding. Therefore, this study is undertaken with the objective of finding the weld strength of EN19 and SS304L using TIG and MIG welding with different parameters. Tensile strength and hardness of the welded region is found to be higher than that of the base material. The comparison of microstructure near the weld pool and the base material revealed the changes in composition of materials besides the formation of marten site in the welded region. The main application of this material thus prepared by welding processes could be in automobile industries, food industries and nuclear pressure vessels.

Welding technology is used because besides being easy to use, it can also reduce costs so it is cheaper. Especially for welding repair. From the welding repair the extent to which the strength of GMAW welds can repair components from the molded plastic mold room made of AISI 420 stainless steel. Repair of the print room components using deposit welding is tested using tensile strength and hardness as realization of resistance when holding the rate of liquid plastic entering the print room by 25 to 40 MPa, depending on the plastic viscosity, the precision of the mold and the filling level of the print room. Deposition welding method as a welding repair can affect a procedure to be able to produce a component that is safe and capable of being used in accordance with the provisions. The welding process used is reverse polarity GMAW DC with 125 A current and ER 70 S welding wire diameter 1.2 mm. Test material AISI 420. Tests carried out were tensile test, impact test and hardness test in weld metal, HAZ and base metal.

Mechanical properties (impact, hardness and tensile strength) characterization of samples containing homogenous mixtures of Al 6063 matrix and varying amount of silver nanoparticles mixed with calcium carbonate at 2, 4, 6% weight fractions, respectively, produced by method of stir casting were carried out. Measurement of impact energy, hardness and tensile strength of the produced samples at 24℃ (ambient) temperature was done by Charpy impact, Brinell hardness and universal tensile testing machine in accordance to ASTM E23, E384 and E8/E8M-13M, respectively. The magnitude of impact and hardness increased evidently with increase in percentage weight fraction of the AgNPs. The refined samples were examined under an optical microscope. The fracture surfaces of the impact test samples were further examined by scanning electron microscopy. There is an increase in tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity of Al-AgNP composites compared to as-cast aluminium alloy. The use of stir-casting technique influences the homogeneity and microstructure of the composites positively. It is concluded that Al-silver nanocomposites possess better qualities in hardness and strength and can replace conventional aluminium alloy in terms of performance and longer life in industrial application.

ABSTRACTObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of extended photoactivation time on ultimate tensile strength (UTS), water sorption (WS) and solubility (WSB) of resin-based materials used as fissure-sealantsMethods: A fissure-sealant (Fluroshield) and a flowable composite (Permaflo) polymerized for 20 and 60 seconds were tested. For UTS, 20 hourglass shaped samples were prepared representing two materials and two photoactivation time (n=5). After 24-h dry-storage, samples were tested in tension using a universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min (UTS was calculated in MPa). For WS and WSB, 20 disks with 5 mm diameter and 1 mm height (n=5) were prepared and volumes were calculated (mm3). They were transferred to desiccators until a constant mass was obtained (m1) and were subsequently immersed in distilled water until no alteration in mass was detected (m2). Samples were reconditioned to constant mass in desiccators (m3). WS and WSB were determined using the equations m2-m3/V and m1-m3/V, respectively. Data were subjected to twoway ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD test (P<.05).Results: There was no significant difference between materials or photoactivation times for the UTS and WS. Permaflo presented lower but negative WSB compared to Fluroshield.Conclusions: Extended photoactivation time did not improve the physical properties tested. Fluroshield presented physical properties that were similar to or better than Permaflo. (Eur J Dent 2012;6:402-407)

The effect of welding parameters (current, electrode diameter) on the impact of low carbon steel specimens was investigated in this work. Two different geometries namely square butt welded joint and double V welded joint were created. The welding operation was carried out at three different current for welding currents of 90, 110 and 130 amps and electrode diameters of 2.5, 3.2 and 4mm respectively. A Charpy impact testing machine was used to evaluate the impact of the welded samples. It was observed that a low current of 90 Amps for all the welding electrode diameters produced high impact values for both the welding geometries. Also, the 3.2 mm electrode diameter was found to be more suitable for welding the square butt and the double V geometry as it yielded higher impact values. Additionally, the double V geometry showed better performance when compared to the square butt geometry for all the combinations of welding currents and electrode diameters.

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) glycol based casting polyurethane elastomers (CPUE) filled with nano-SiO2 particles within different surface properties were synthesized by mean of in-situ polymerization. The macro-static/dynamic mechanical properties and micro-dispersed state were characterized by an electronmechanical universal testing machine, a durometer, a rubber resilience experimental machine, a dynamic-mechanical analyzer (DMA) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The tensile modulus at 100% and 300%, elongation at break, tensile strength and tear strength of PCL urethane nanocomposites increased substantially in the presence of a certain amount of nano-SiO2 compared with their pristine state. Furthermore, the tensile strength and tear strength at 100 of the PCL CPUE with 5% nano-SiO2 pretreated by γ-glycidochloropropyl methyl trimethoxy silane (SI-CA) were 1.50 and 1.94 times than those of the pure PCL CPUE, respectively. The addition of the nano-SiO2 had little effect on the hardness, but the impact resilience decreased slightly. DMA analyses showed that the loss factor peaks of two nano-SiO2 polyurethane composites were higher obviously than the pure PCL CPUE and the glass transition temperature (Tg)of the two nano-SiO2 polyurethane composites increased to higher temperature region. SEM fractographs showed that the surface treatment by the optimum silane coupling agent influenced the dispersibility of nano-SiO2 in the PCL CPUE distinctly. The agglomerating phenomenon, and even some nano-agglomerates with more than 1 μm diameter can be observed in the PCL CPUE with 5% untreated nano-SiO2, but the nano-SiO2 pretreated by SI-CA was dispersed in the PCL CPUE in nano-scale.
