Neue Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Schweißtechnik

Recent Development in the Field of Welding Technique. Because of important advantages as soundness of gap, no overlapping and possibility of mechanization the welding procedure takes a considerable plave in the wide field of joint techniques. Often the mechanical properties of the weld metal exceed the values of the base metal. The following report describes recent welding techniques: welding with cored-wire electrodes, the narrow-gap-welding and electron-beam welding at atmosphere. This procedures are often used for the welding of new grades of materials.

Welding Engineering in Chemical Systems Construction – Examples for Selection and Welding Processing of Materials as to Their Operational Verification Welding manufacturing occupies undoubtedly a key position in the construction of chemical apparatus and systems. It is possible to application-specifically select out of a variety of structural materials and welding fillers. Corrosion resistance, thermal and mechanical characteristics, especially any differences in the time-history of loading are the crucial criteria. In addition, the effects of welding on the material properties must be considered. Below examples will be given as to material criteria concerning specifications and selection, but primarily with respect to the corrodibility of stainless CrNi(Mo) steels and the appropriate welding fillers.     

Untersuchungen über das Strangpressen kubisch-flächenzentrierter Metalle

Investigation of the extrudability of face-centered cubic metals Part I represents investigations of the behaviour of the interface during the extrusion of lead and lead alloys. The alloying tendency (welding) and the coefficient of friction μ do not show any relationship to the power requirements during the process of extrusion. Due to the high pressure inside the extrusion presses an interfacial movement (friction) can take place only if the coefficient of friction is in the range of μ ≦ 0,001. By knowing the normal pressure and the shear strength of the material the coefficient of friction for slip-stick conditions can be determined from a chart. The dynamic friction is presented as the shearing off of the interfacial contact points and the stationary friction as the creep of these contact points. Attempts to calculate the power requirements of industrial presses on the basis of the shear strength of the material and shear area were successful.

Films over films: innovative coatings for complex applications Thin films and coatings have developed as a prerequisite for many technical applications. In this paper, some applications for electrical, electronic, biomedical and optical applications are presented. In this contribution, examples for coatings for conductive and transparent films in photovoltaics, films for biomedical electrodes, for semiconductor contacts and for high‐temperature contacts are presented and discussed. The films are prepared by magnetron‐sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. The influence of the processing parameters on the functional properties of the films is presented.
