Introduction The automotive market is continuously evolving, as cars are required to be light and highly fuel-efficient, as ...

In the present study, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of Nickel Aluminum Bronze (NAB) alloy was carried out by varying the axial load, rotation speed and welding speed rate. Micro-structural analyses of ...

Virginia Tech advances additive friction stir deposition - creating a strong, defect-free material that can be 3D printed in bulk.

Abstract: The synergetic model, that allows representing the processes proceeding at the boundary friction of two atomically smooth surfaces divided by an ultrathin layer of lubricant material is ...

Abstract: High-temperature superconducting (HTS) metal-as-insulation (MI) magnets are considered to have a higher contact resistance than HTS no-insulation (NI) magnets, and thus, have a lower ...
