Characterisation of Laser Welds, between Nitinol and Stainless Steel Wires

Michel Rappaz, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Jonas Vannod

Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys are often used in medical component devices, for instance as guide wires for neurological surgery applications. Manufacturing of such devices becomes more and more challenging, especially considering the need to j ...

Size effects in the fatigue behaviour of tubular bridge joints

Luís Costa Borges

A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. Economic viability depends on it. Lower fatigue strength for joints with thicker failing members was observed in welded joints typical to the bridge app ...

Joining Wood by Friction Welding - Fabrication of Multi- layered Components

Yves Weinand, Bernhard Stamm

Since decades traditional friction welding methods are applied industrially to metal and thermoplastic synthetics. Research showed that for different applications this method is promising for wood too. The process does not necessitate any additional materi ...

Probabilistic fatigue analysis of a post-weld treated tubular bridge

Alain Nussbaumer, Scott Walbridge

In this paper, several probabilistic models for evaluating the fatigue performance of post-weld treated tubular bridge structures are briefly described. The application of the models is then demonstrated on a full-scale example bridge. Under realistic traf ...

Development of friction welding of wood

Bernhard Stamm

For several decades friction welding technology has found broad application in many fields of the metal and plastic connection industry. The fabricated joints are laminar or punctiform depending upon the shape of the parts to be welded. The work presented ...

Joining wood by friction welding

Bernhard Stamm, Julius Natterer

At the Chair of Timber Constructions of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) tests were carried out to join wooden work pieces by friction welding without any additional welding deposit. It could be determined that this kind of tech ...

Laser micro-spot welding of copper by real-time process monitoring

Simone Amorosi

A new laser micro-spot welding procedure for copper has been developed in order to eliminate the shortcomings of existing techniques based on laser pulse shaping or in-situ temperature control. This procedure consists in dividing the welding process in fou ...

Process for avoiding cracking in welding

Michel Rappaz, Wilfried Kurz, Jean-Daniel Wagnière

The new welding process avoids cracking in welding, in repair welding or in cladding of parts of metallic alloys which are sensitive to hot cracking. The process is using a first heat source (15), directed to the parts (11, 12) of the metallic alloy formin ...

Characterisation and origin of arc fluctuations in a F4 DC plasma torch used for thermal spraying

Christoph Hollenstein

The fluctuating behaviour of a Sulzer Metco F4 DC plasma gun has been investigated. The time dependencies of the arc voltage and current and of the optical emission of the plasma jet have been measured. An optical fibre inside the gun allows direct measure ...
