Analysis of Tensile Strength Properties for FG260 Welded Cast Iron: A Review
Abstract: Gray cast iron is the most common cast iron and it can be effectively welded if cooling rates controlled during welding and after welding. Poor weldability of gray cast iron is due to the presence of much more carbon that is the found in flake or spherical form and silicon than other ferrous metal which results in cast iron is less ductile hence weld is subjected to more metallurgical complications …

Re-Characterization of Strength Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures Using Non Bituminous Modifier – Candle Wax
Abstract: Improving the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures synonymous with flexible pavement has been a major concern in highway engineering. However, design of flexible pavement begins with proper material characterization to ensure that designs are appropriate. It is also pertinent to say that sometimes if not most times the properties of the individual materials that make up the pavement structure falls short of desired expectations. This has led to exploring techniques …

Experimental Investigation of FSW on Al 6061-T6 MG Dissimilar Joints
Abstract: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has shown significant potential for welding dissimilar materials, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys, which are difficult to join using conventional fusion welding methods due to large differences in their physical, thermal, and metallurgical properties. During FSW, contact between the rotating, wear-resistant tool shoulder, the pin, and the work piece produces frictional energy. Additional thermal energy develops because of intense …
