In her guest blog, student writer Rebekah Craft explains how student researchers in materials science and engineering construct aluminum filler wire. It’s a bit like baking. Michigan Technological ...

New research shows small additions of nickel and yttrium can dramatically improve the performance of aluminum brazing fillers. This could be a route to stronger joints at lower processing temperatures ...

Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840°F and applying a filler metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal flows into the joint by capillary ...

Filler metal A showed 50% of its grain boundary area cracked, while filler metal B had 90% of its fusion zone grain boundaries cracked, evinced by the presence of 10-500-μm cracks on the grain ...

Hobart Brothers will showcase stick electrodes and tubular wires designed for structural and construction equipment applications. McKay hardsurfacing filler metals provide weld deposits that meet or ...
