File Description [top]

Weldasearch® is a database of short abstracts of articles on welding, joining, and allied technologies. The database aims to be a comprehensive record of appropriate worldwide literature published since 1966. Every aspect of welding and allied processes is covered including design, materials science, fatigue and fracture mechanics, equipment for joining and cutting processes, corrosion, surfacing, microjoining, metallurgy and materials science, quality control, inspection, non-destructive testing, health and safety, commercial applications, market statistics, and news of the industry.

Weldasearch® has comprehensive coverage of all key industry sectors including aerospace, automotive, electronics, shipbuilding, fabrication of bridges, pipelines, offshore structures and pressure vessels, fabrication of power generation, nuclear and process plant, robotics and automation, repair and maintenance. Processes of welding, brazing and soldering, microjoining, diffusion bonding, thermal cutting, surfacing and hardfacing, thermal spraying are covered.

For indexing the database uses Descriptors which are taken from the International Welding Thesaurus.

    growth features of large Si particles, in Al-40%Si functionally graded 
    materials produced by a Nd:YAG laser surfacing process on cast Al alloy 
    substrate (Al, 6.3%Si, 4%Cu), are presented. They were obtained from 
    orientation imaging microscopy, TEM and SEM. A model of the groove 
    nucleation followed by the flow of the growth steps over the five ridges 
    for the rapid elongation of the five-fold Si particles is presented.
