Abstract: Friction stir welding (FSW) of electrolytic tough pitch copper plates was conducted using a conventional CNC milling machine. The microstructure evolution of the weld was correlated with the ...

Abstract: Welded high-temperature power plant components can experience a greater risk of failure by creep during service, when compared to similar as-wrought components. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of ...

Abstract: The creep evolution was followed by conducting magnetic measurements on ferromagnetic steel samples exposed to different creep strains at a constant temperature. 410 stainless steel (410 SS) rods ...

Abstract: An electromagnetic sensor was assessed as a possible instrument for nondestructive detection and monitoring of corrosion in structural carbon steels. In this study, the magnetic response of three ...

Abstract: CrMoV steels are used in high temperature and high stress sections of power plant members; their good creep resistance is impaired by welding done during fabrication of assemblies and weld ...

Abstract: Life extension of high pressure and intermediate pressure rotors by weld repair is a viable alternative considering the latest developments. Our objective is to select a filler wire that will ...

Abstract: There is a compelling desire by power generating plants to continue running existing stations and components for several more years, despite many of them have surpassed their design service ...
