ABSTRACT In view of the poor weldability of electrodes in resistance spot welding (RSW) of galvanized steel sheets, the life of oriented multi-walled carbon nanotubes reinforced Cu matrix composites ...

Rochester, N.Y. — Our Bright Spot shines on new graduates. Monday marked a special day for the second cohort of the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center's (REOC) mobile welding lab. The ...

Today, real-time measurement of dynamic power factor in resistance spot welding (RSW) is of increasing importance. On the basis of the welding transformer circuit model, a new method is proposed to ...

Learn how to build a compact spot welding machine using a battery in this easy DIY tutorial. Spot welding is essential in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction.

“Nothing is going to change when it comes to my job,” Caron said. “I’m going to stay at Mill River. I don’t want to do this full time. The only thing it would make me do is have a better ...

This paper deals with a middle-frequency resistance spot welding system. It consists of an input converter, welding transformer, and a full-wave rectifier mounted at the transformer secondary. The ...

Capacitor discharge (CD) welding is a form of resistance welding that relies on energy stored in a large capacitor bank instead of drawing directly from a power distribution network. Because of this ...

Joshua Kolar, a federal magistrate, was confirmed on a 66-25 vote. With Kolar’s confirmation, the 7th Circuit now has four judges nominated by President Joe Biden.

A 20% increase in tensile strength was observed for this newly welded material compared to HLAW methods. This is a 60% increase compared to GMAW methods. The weld can resist up to 470 MPa, which is ...
