Abstract
The effects of welding variables (stand-off distance and explosive thickness) on the interfacial microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of explosively welded Ta alloy to Ni-Cr-Mo low alloyed steel have been investigated. Regardless of welding conditions (a stand-off distance of 3-5 mm and explosive thickness of 40-80 mm), the Ta/steel interface..... More

Abstract
The strength of Ni-base superalloys mainly depends on the γ' precipitates that improve the strength of the materials at high temperatures. The presence of γ' particles within the matrix restricts dislocation movement, and optimized heat treatments can tailor the size, shape, and volume fraction of γ'. In this study the..... More

Abstract
In this study, the influence of heat input and post-seam annealing (PSA) temperature on the microstructure and impact toughness of electric resistance welded (ERWed) API X70 steel pipe was investigated. The ERW seam welds of pipes were fabricated with low, moderate, and high heat inputs, and followed by the PSA..... More

Abstract
Microstructure evolution and the creep fracture characteristics of dissimilar welds between Ni-based superalloy Inconel 740H and High Cr ferritic steel Gr.92 were investigated. The dissimilar welds were fabricated by shielded metal arc (SMA) welding process with Ni-based austenitic Inconel 182 superalloy. Postweld heat treatment at 760 ^oC for 4 hours..... More

Abstract
A composite having 60 vol% of TiC particles was successfully fabricated by the infiltration of molten SKD11 tool steel into a TiC preform. The density of this composite was achieved to be 25% lighter than conventional steels. The penetration of the liquid metal reached geometrically complex regions without any interfacial..... More
