Additive manufacturing technology is becoming more popular for the fabrication of metal products as it offers rapid prototyping and large design freedom. However, part quality of components fabricated by current additive manufacturing technology is not comparable to that produced by ... En savoir plus
Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) methods, like Electron Beam Sintering (EBS), constitute an interesting process concerning the production of small series and customized products. However, transient effects occur during processing due to the different physical principles of an electron ... En savoir plus
Hybrid laser-MIG arc welding has very interesting advantages compared to laser welding or arc welding used separately. It is known that improvement of productivity results in higher welding speeds, thicker welded materials, joint fit-up allowance, better stability of molten pool, and ... En savoir plus
Actual trends in lightweight construction and safety-relevant technologies cause an increasing demand for reliable design of joining connections. Increasing power density and compact design require dimensioning of joints with low safety factors. Thereby additional security measures are ... En savoir plus
This paper describes a numerical solution method for the simulation of a cold crucible induction melting (CCIM) process involving the coupling of electromagnetic, temperature and turbulent velocity fields. During the CCIM process, the metal charge is contained on a water cooled ... En savoir plus
A Laser-welded blank (LWB) consists of steels of different thicknesses and/or grades welded together to produce a single blank prior to the forming process. LWB are mostly used in the automotive field where the high productivity of the laser welding process is an advantage. Numerical ... En savoir plus
Arc current welding is a widespread process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. In order to ensure the good quality of assemblies welds, it is appropriate to master the welding process but also to have a deep understanding of interactions with the weld pool and ...
