Effect of Bulk Density of Developed Agglomerated Fluxes on Flux Consumption and Penetration during Submerged Arc Welding
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study correlating the bulk density of agglomerated fluxes during submerged arc welding on weld penetration and flux consumption. The basic constituents of these fluxes are CaO, SiO2, and Al2O3. Minor additions of MgO, MnO, CaF2, NiO and Fe-Cr are mixed in the basic constituents for improving techno-mechanical and physical properties of the weld metal.Keywords: Submerged arc welding, agglomerated flux, flux consumption, weld …

Squeeze Casting of Hybrid Aluminum Matrix Composites: A Critical Review of Process Optimization, Reinforcement Strategies, and Performance Outcomes
Abstract: Increasing demand for lightweight, performance-oriented components in automotive, aerospace, and defense industries has driven advancements in squeeze casting, a hybrid technique merging forging and die-casting advantages to produce near-net-shape aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) with superior mechanical-tribological properties. This review critically examines the interplay of process parameters (e.g., squeeze pressure: 70–150 MPa, melt temperature: 650–800°C), reinforcement characteristics (volume fraction ≤10%, particle size: 10–71µm), and interfacial engineering strategies (flux-assisted bonding, ultrasonic dispersion) …
