Stemple ELECTRON BEAM WELDING INTRODUCTION "Electron beam welding is a process wherein coalescence is produced by the heat obtained from a concentrated beam composed primarily of high velocity electrons impinging upon the surfaces to be joined "Electron beam welding [takes] place in an evacuated chamber in which the beam generating and focusing devices, as well as the workpiece, are in this vacuum environment. Welding in a chamber imposes several limitations; but at the same time provides one of the outstanding advantages of the process: namely, the potential for a pure and inert environment in which the metal may be welded without fear of chemical contamination. "At the time of its invention, electron beam welding was strictly a high-vacuum process. Today the process has a much wider scope, being also practiced at medium vacuum and at atmospheric pressure. In each of these three operational modes, however, the beam is always generated in a high vacuum. It is the workpiece that may be at the same pressure as the beam generator or at a higher pressure. "Another outstanding feature of electron beam welding is its ability to make exceedingly narrow, deeply penetrated welds .... This stands in remarkable contrast to the fusion pattern in arc and gas welds, and is attributable to the unique penetration mechanism of the electron beam."1 Anonymous (1) Air space frontiers challenge welding, Weld.

Box 2440 Ha’il, Saudi Arabia 2Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute (CMRDI), Cairo, Egypt Correspondence: Abdulaziz S. Alghamdi ([email protected]) Received: 24 March 2020 – Revised: 10 August 2020 – Accepted: 11 September 2020 – Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract. The bimetal casting process using the liquid–liquid technique was developed to produce a high- quality hyper-eutectic Al–21Si / hypo-eutectic Al–7.5Si alloy bimetal material. Microstructure and microhard- ness were investigated as a function of the time interval between pouring hypo-eutectic and hyper-eutectic alloys. A bimetal material was successfully fabricated using a liquid–liquid casting technique with a 10 s time interval in a permanent mould casting. A unique structure comprised of hyper-eutectic Al–21Si, hypo-eutectic Al–7.5Si and a eutectic interface of 70 µm thickness was obtained. This structure totally differs from that obtained using a higher time interval above 10 s that showed an imperfect interface bond due to the shrinkage cavity and formation of oxides. The hardness variation from the upper zone of 117.5 HV to the lower zone of 76 HV corresponded to the variation in Si and the content of other alloying elements.

  • SP-TRS-3278 Ultrasonic Welding Eastman Polymers
    Ultrasonic welding Eastman polymers Ultrasonic welding Ultrasonic welding is a common method for joining plastic parts without using adhesives, solvents, or mechanical fasteners. Ultrasonic welding equipment operates on the principle of converting electrical energy to mechanical vibratory energy. This vibratory energy is transmitted to plastic parts by a specially designed horn that also applies pressure to force the parts together. The high-frequency vibration generated by the welding apparatus creates frictional heat that softens the plastic to create a bond at contact points between plastic parts. Ultrasonic welding offers several advantages, including: Figure 1. Typical joint design* • Environmentally safe; no chemicals used • Aesthetically pleasing joints • Excellent product uniformity • Rapid bonding; higher productivity • Process adaptable to multiple tasks (inserting, swaging, etc.) • Low energy consumption • Computer-controlled process; suitable for statistical Textured Groove process control surface • Provides hermetic seals Some plastics soften and bond more easily than others, but by selecting the appropriate welding equipment and parameters, strong bonds can be obtained with most amorphous plastics. Parameters that significantly affect weld strength and appearance include vibration frequency and amplitude, horn pressure, weld time, and joint design. Step joint Joint designs Figure 2. Additional weld joint designs* There are multiple joint designs commonly used in the plastics industry, and the appropriate joint design should be utilized based on the application and product end use. A simple energy-director joint provides a small raised ridge of polymer between two flat surfaces to be joined. As the parts are pressed together by the vibrating welder horn, the ridge softens and flows over the width of the joint to create a bond.

  • General Guidelines for Ultrasonic, Vibration and Spin Welding
    DUPONT PERFORMANCE POLYMERS Joint Design: A Critical Factor in Strong Bonds GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ULTRASONIC, VIBRATION AND SPIN WELDING Introduction Welding techniques for assembling parts molded with DuPont thermoplastic resins conventionally require an input of energy that results in heat. This heat causes a brief melting of material at the interface of two parts to be joined. Simultaneous application of pressure produces a strong, homogenous bond. Techniques range from simple processes such as hot plate welding to electromagnetic/induction heating and laser welding. These techniques are used to join large or complex parts. Hot plate welding is seldom used with engineering plastics because of their higher melt temperatures and rapid solidification when heat is removed. Electromagnetic welding utilizes a magnetically “activated” thermoplastic in the joint interface which is heated by electromagnetic coils while under clamping pressure. (An induction welding variation uses metal inserts which are heated by the magnetic field.) Laser welding relies on the transmissive and absorptive characteristics of the materials to be welded. Because of the specialized nature of these methods, designers should contact their DuPont representative for specific application assistance. The methods covered in this overview, ultrasonic, vibration and spin welding, offer quick, precise and economical means of assembly. Each method requires close attention to joint design, holding and alignment fixtures, and material moisture. Safety Considerations Read the

  • Very High Power Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (Vhp Uam) for Advanced Materials K
    VERY HIGH POWER ULTRASONIC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (VHP UAM) FOR ADVANCED MATERIALS K. F. Graff, M. Short and M. Norfolk Edison Welding Institute, Columbus, OH 43221 Abstract To extend current ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) to advanced materials, higher speeds and larger parts, it was essential to greatly increase the process ultrasonic power. EWI, with Solidica™, several industry, agency and academic partners, and support of Ohio’s Wright Program, have developed a “Very High Power Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing System” that greatly extends current technology. A key part was the design of a 9.0 kW “push-pull” ultrasonic system able to produce sound welds in materials such as Ti 6-4, 316SS, 1100 Cu and Al7075. The VHP system can fabricate parts of up to 1.5m x 1.5m x 0.6m, with process and software developments that enable forming contoured surfaces. Introduction The process of ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), introduced by Solidica™ in 2000, has shown significant promise for a wide range of applications, such as rapid prototyping, low volume tooling, direct parts manufacture, tailored materials, embedded fibers, smart materials, cladding and thermal management. Specific examples include injection mold dies, embedded channels for thermal management or chemical processing, and the embedding of materials, e.g. wires, tapes or meshes, within a metal matrix. In order to greatly extend the current technology to advanced materials, higher speeds and larger parts, it was essential to greatly increase the ultrasonic power applied to the process. Accordingly, EWI, with Solidica™, several industry, agency and academic partners, and the support of Ohio’s Wright Program, have developed a “Very High Power Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing System” that will greatly extend current technology.

We propose a numerical approach to evaluate their effects on the performance of the shaped charge. AUTODYN-2D software is used for numerical simulations of the shaped charge. The multi material Euler solver of the AUTODYN is used for the jet formation investigation, whereas, Lagrange solver is used for the resolution of the penetration problem. Results have shown that the presence of wave- shaper increases the shaped charge depth penetration. For the standoff of 6 charge calibres, the jet penetration is found to be deepest. It is found that the jet velocity is proportional to the jet energy, and the penetration is proportional to the liner density. The oblique explosive reactive armor is more efficient for the protection of the main target. Numerical results have a good agreement with the data from available literature – with experimental results for the chosen explosives.
