WELDING RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT


A Methodology for Prediction of Fusion Zone Shape (.pdf)
A methodology was developed to predict fusion depth and width in gas metal arc welding
H. Furuya et al.

A New Proposal of HAZ Toughness Evaluaton Method: Part 2 - HAZ Toughness Formulation by Chemical Compositions (.pdf)
