I am delighted to share our recent publication in the International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the coauthors involved: Thiago Castro, João Marcos Souza Dias, Arthur Gustavo, Tadeu Borba MSc CQE ASQ, João Rodrigo Andrade, Sinésio Domingues Franco, Elisan Magalhaes and Louriel Vilarinho. An experimental evaluation was conducted on shipbuilding steel ASTM A131 DH36 using the GMAW process, evaluating both the geometric characteristics of the weld bead and the microstructure at different thicknesses. Cooling rates were predicted based on an in-house finite volume method (FVM) computational code. The results indicated that although all welds met the main requirement of full penetration, the metallurgical requirement of a maximum hardness of 350 HV in the HAZ was only achieved at thicknesses of 7 mm and 10 mm.

The alloying of lead in metallic materials has a positive effect on the machining process. With the RoHS Regulation (2011/65/EU), the time of these easily chip-breaking metals has come to an end due to the ban on lead. With its extensive tool portfolio, HORN offers appropriate inserts and chip form geometries to fulfil the economic machining of lead-free materials. #HORN #HornUSA #MasteringProcesses #leadfree #leadfreemachining

Extinct Fasteners In industries such as Aerospace and Rail, it's common to find references to fasteners in specifications and drawings that are no longer made. To meet these requirements, it's crucial to use the right hardware. Non Standard Socket Screws is key here, offering the ability to make almost any type of fastener according to old British Standards or other specifications, usually in a few weeks. Additionally, we hold one of the largest stocks of hard-to-find BSW and BSF and other socket screws.

In a nut shell the basic AWS classification for SMAW filler metal is EXXXX, where: E stands for electrode, the next two digits nominal tensile strength in ksi, the penultimate digit is welding position, and final number is for coating/operating characteristics. So, as an example, for an electrode classified as E7018, the tensile strength is 70 ksi (which is the FEXXX in Table J2.5), the number 1 means it can be used for welding in all positions, the number 8 means the coating is low hydrogen iron powder ...for use with AC or DCEP

⭐️Taken out yesterday’s Poured 500 kg casting ring for our Forging customers⭐️ One of the key advantages of cooling casting at atmospheric level is its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Unlike more complex cooling methods that require additional equipment or energy, atmospheric cooling relies solely on the natural environment. Furthermore, atmospheric cooling allows for the production of large and intricate parts with minimal distortion or defects. The gradual cooling process helps to alleviate internal stresses within the material, resulting in a more uniform and structurally sound final product.

Here a good video on why we call the Schunk Ultrasonic metal welding a cold-welding process. Have a good look at the Aluminum strands after the weld, not or only a little color change. Electrically and cold metal weld has big advantages as a connection. THE SCHUNK DS20-II Appearing on the scene in 2011, the DS20-II was a quantum leap in wire-harness production: For the first time it became possible to weld wires with cross sections of up to 120 mm² to terminals. The possibilities include, for example, the connection of Cu and/or Al wires with different contact parts with a precision that is unique for this area of application.

Forgers,One of the need for simulation is to identify why a forging defect occoured and to demonstrate to a customer the root cause of a defect. Some times a customer claim that the raw material is defective and a wrong investigation takes place. In order to rule out the aspect of forging process defect simulation can be used. This defect was identified by customer and we identified the reason of misplacement of billet during upsetting and the root cause was again that top die was shorter than the bottom die. With the speed and accuracy of QFORM it was very easy to identify the cause.
