Localised high-pressure rolling of welded joints in structural materials is currently being investigated as an industrially relevant means of eliminating harmful residual...

Nickel based super alloys are utilized at high temperatures, in aggressive environments, and therefore important for aeroengine applications. RR1000 is a nickel-based...

TWIP (TWinning-Induced Plasticity) steels are a class of Mn-containing steels that display excellent elongation to fracture even at high strain rates, making them very...

Welding processes are usually associated with significant thermal gradients and may generate high tensile residual stresses in and near the bond line. These stresses reduce the...

Welds in safety critical applications are subject to structural integrity assessments where residual stress plays a key part. Dissimilar welds are often used in service without...

Repair welding of nickel superalloys is being investigated at Cranfield University to determine repair techniques which minimise liquation and post-weld heat treatment cracking...

Recently a new martensitic filler material has been designed and made, which has good mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance. This alloy also exhibits a low...

Recent work has shown that localised high-pressure rolling of weld seams can be a very effective means of reducing the damaging residual stresses created during the welding...

UK power plants are following the worldwide trends in the power generating industry, in line with demands for increases in the efficiency of existing power plants and for...
