Fracture is one of the failure modes of a material or product which may occur during its
manufacturing process or its usage. Fractography is the science and art of examination and …

Gas tungsten arc butt welding of Mg–Al filling with Zn filler metal without and with Al foils in
different thicknesses was carried out. Additional Al element was introduced into the fusion …

Nowadays, U75V steel is widely used in high speed railway construction, and commonly
jointed by means of flash butt welding procedure. Considering the fact that fatigue failure is …

Weld thermal cycles, microstructures and mechanical properties of flash butt welded
RS590CL steel joints have been investigated. The results indicated that the weld thermal …

In this study, finite element (FE) simulation by the software Abaqus was relied on to
investigate the roll forming process of a wheel rim made of an innovative dual-phase steel …

In this study, ASTM A529 carbon–manganese steel angle specimens were joined by flash
butt welding and the effects of varying process parameter settings were investigated. The …

Defects would occur in the weld joint of the wheel rims during the post-flash butt welding
(FBW) process suffering from poor plasticity, which will deteriorate the quality and lifecycle of …

Continuously welded rails are widely used in the Iran railway network, which are generally
built using the flash-butt welding process. To accurately model the flash-butt welding …

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels have been widely used in the manufacture of wheel
rim on account of the higher strength and larger elongation compared to the traditional low …

The object of the present investigations was to evaluate the effect of flash butt welding
parameters on microstructures and mechanical properties of HSLA 590CL welded joints in …
