An Experimental Investigation of Ignition Propensity of Hot Work Processes in the Nuclear Industry
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-30)The National Fire Code of Canada (NFCC) is one model code which regulates hot work in Canada. The code specifies that hot work processes need only create heat to be considered hot work processes, and requires that precautions ... -
Influence of current pulse profile on metal transfer in pulsed gas metal arc welding
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-24)The increase in the requirements of safety and reliability demanded from the normalization institutes by the issue of normalizing standards, led to the need of the development of materials of superior properties. Owing to ... -
Investigation of Liquid-Metal-Embrittlement Crack-path: Role of Grain Boundaries and Responsible Mechanism
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-24)Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) has been reported in many structural materials, including steel, aluminum, nickel during hot working processes e.g. welding, brazing, heattreatment, leading to abrupt failure. In many of ... -
Laser Brazing of Magnesium to Steel Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-24)The ability to effectively join magnesium alloys to steel will facilitate increased application and use of Mg alloys in the automotive and aerospace industries where joining Mg alloys to steel in order to achieve light ... -
Laser Microwelding of Fine Wires using Femtosecond Pulses
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)An alternative wire joining method is explored that utilizes femtosecond laser pulses directed towards the contact point of two pieces of 25-μm diameter Au bonding wires typically used in microelectronics wire bonding. The ... -
Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Nanothermites for Joining
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-19)Thermite reactions were well studied in the past few decades; however, implementation of these reactions with nanoscale components is a new interest for today’s researchers both for military and civil industries. Nanothermites ...
