Microstructure and toughness of thick-gauge pipeline steel joint via double-sided friction stir welding combined with preheating
Fusion welding easily causes microstructural coarsening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of a thick-gauge pipeline steel joint. This is most significant in the inter-critically coarse-grained HAZ (ICCGHAZ), whi...

Effect of vacuum level on microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium–steel vacuum roll clad plates
Vacuum roll cladding (VRC) was used to bond pure titanium (Ti) plate to a plain low carbon steel (Q345) with the aim of obtaining a high-quality Ti–steel clad plate. The effect of interfacial compound on the m...
