Welding Processes used in Aeronautical Industry

Welding Processes used in Aeronautical Industry

Friction Welding (FRW) – Welding Processes used in Aeronautical Industry In this process (Welding Processes used in Aeronautical Industry), joining of the metals is achieved through mechanical deformation. Since there is no melting, defects associated with melting-solidification phenomena are not present and unions as strong as the base material can be made. This process can

Structures for InGaAs

Structures for InGaAs APDs – Photodetectors

Structures for InGaAs To improve the performance of structures for InGaAs APDs, various complex device architectures have been devised. One widely used structure is the separate-absorption-and-multiplication (SAM) APD configuration. Image shows, this structure uses different materials in the absorption and multiplication regions, with each region being optimized for a particular function. Here, light enters the

Reactive Power and Voltage Control

Reactive Power and Voltage Control – Power System Operation

A power system is said to be well designed if it gives a good quality of reliable supply. Voltage level maintained within reasonable limits is referred as good quality. If reactive power and voltage control variation is more than specified value, the performance of equipment suffers and also the life of equipment is sacrificed. When

Defects in Welding

Defects in Welding – Weldability and Testing of Weldments

Defects in Welding Process A welding defect is any flaw that compromises, the usefulness of a weldment. The improper welding parameters, base metal and selection of method introduce defects in the weld metal. So, the defective weld causes failure in service conditions and damages to the properties the defects in weld depending on thickness, load,
