Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is relatively new process invented at The Welding Institute (Cambridge, UK) in 1991. It involves the joining of metals without fusion or filler metals. Since FSW is essentially solid state, high quality weld is obtained, characterized with absence of solidification cracking, porosity, oxidation and other defects typical to traditional fusion welding. The peak temperature in the FSW process is generally of the order of about 80% that of the liquidus temperature of the material being welded. The joint produced in this process is asymmetric about the weld line, as the material in a highly plastic state flows differently at the two sides of the welded joint. Owing to the velocity difference between the rotating tool …show more content…

The joint produced in this process is asymmetric about the weld line, as the material in a highly plastic state flows differently at the two sides of the welded joint. Owing to the velocity difference between the rotating tool and the stationary work piece, the mechanical interaction produces heat by means of frictional work and material plastic deformation. On one side of the tool the rotational direction is same as that of the tool travel direction, it is referred to as ‘advancing side’ and the other side is referred to as ‘retreating side’,[1-4].FSW involves complex interactions within thermo mechanical process. These interactions affect the heating and the cooling rates, plastic deformation, flow, and dynamic recrystallization [5].Different aspects of numerical analysis of FSW are achievable regarding micro structural study, material, heat flow and heat generation.

Tomorrows Welders Thomas Jefferson said, “I find that the harder I work, the less I call it work”. I have often found myself in situations where I needed to fix something but could not because it is metal. I believe this might be why I began to show interest in welding. There is great satisfaction in being able to create or fix a metal object on your own.
-Pipe welders can obtain the education needed from a variety of education programs available at trade schools and community colleges.
Welders can use hand held welders or even robotic welders to produce welds. Both equally requiring a incredible amount of knowledge. They can also fill holes, produce structures and build custom parts for automotive race shops. Welders often work fulltime on shipyards, oil rigs, and pipelines or anywhere else where a specific job is needed. Welders are often required to interpret blueprints or sketches and weld accordingly to fulfill job duties. Arc welding is the most common type of welding today and is what most welders use. (bls) There are over 100 different welding processes that a welder can learn how to use however, Stick, Tig and Mig are the 3 most common used in the industry. These are used most to maintain equipment
Welding is a very important job in today’s society. With new building designs, and bridges to every day metal products, welders are needed to do these tasks. Almost everything that you use every day has some sort of weld to it.
Even though welding has been around for a long time, most of the best inventors were around during the 19th century and have changed the way thing are done today. During the 20th century, many technological advancements developed and have made welding easier because of the different types of welding that have been developed. Welding impacted the world during World War l, because during the war armaments that were going to be utilized were ordered in tremendous amounts. Therefore, welding has been around since the Iron Age and has let people build strong steel and powerful armament such as Weapons, tanks, and planes. Finally, welding has had many advancements, and will continue to do so in the future, because the world needs
Anybody and everybody can become an industrial machinery mechanic; especially, those who are passionate about getting their hands plastered in motor oil, grease, and other mechanical lubricants. These people will more than likely be ecstatic about getting into industrial machinery mechanics. They need to be able to put in one hundred ten percent of their effort into becoming an industrial machinery mechanic. An industrial machinery mechanic’s overall objective on the job is to stop a mechanical error before it happens. An industrial machinery mechanics are often caught repairing, maintaining, and fabricating machinery. They will be required to have certain education and training as well as some on the job training or complete an apprenticeship program. They will receive many benefits for working in this particular field.
Job description for a pipe welder has to have physically intensive job in which they perform a variety of tasks including pipes for various processing systems. Salary for a pipe welder the average worker earns around $50k individuals who reports to 5 to 10 years in this occupation larger median of $57k.workers 10 to 20 years pipe welder’s median salary $60k.more senior group reports median earning around $61k. Welders salary, the average worker earns to $61k.if that person has been working more than 10 to 20 years on that company more and more experience you gain you earn a little more than a beginning welder. Educational requirement for welders are vary by employer. Requirements for welders have high school diploma and require completion

Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal parts. In this process, heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. Because of its strength, welding is used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace application, and thousands of other manufacturing activities. Welding is also used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and joining pipes in pipelines for power plants and refineries. The work that welders do and the equipment they use vary with the industry. Welders also study blueprints or specifications, calculate dimensions to be welded, inspect structures or materials to be welded, ignite torches or start power supplies, monitor the welding process to avoid overheating,
Luri et.al this work deals with the design of a set of dies employed to manufacture a connecting rod by forging a billet of nanostructured aluminum alloy. Nanostructured parts exhibit excellent mechanical properties compared to the nonnanostructured alloys. In this paper, two set of dies are designed to perform a two stroke forging process and to obtain the desired nanostructured part. The first step to manufacture nanostructured parts is to employ a Severe Plastic Deformation Process (SPD) to produce the nanostructured material. So, the SPD material is forged, generally by isothermal forging to produce the part. The flow behavior of a 5083 Aluminum Alloy (5083-AA) after the SPD process has been determined by experimental tests. Finite Element (FE) and Finite Volume (FV) simulations have been run by using nanostructured 5083-AA flow rule, in order to design the dies
Welding is an art, science, and high paying career all in one. Welding is the most effective way to join two pieces of metal, it is the only way to join them so they act as one. Numerous things in our daily lives has been welded from coffeepots to skyscrapers. Welding can be done almost anywhere outdoors, indoors, underwater, and even space (“Welding Basics”). It is practically

Welding is a very important tool used in our daily lives. Welding is the process of joining two metal pieces together by applying heat. A filler helps to make the joint. Everything we use from trucks to houses have some type of welding in them. There are many types of welding careers to choose from. There is a great demand for welders today. My project was to build a table and candelabra out of metal. Most of the metal I gathered came from junk yards and had to be cleaned of rust.
