Investigation of microstructure and mechanical properties of multi-pass friction stir processing on precipitation hardened aluminum alloy
Abstract: In the present study, multi-pass friction stir processing of aluminum AA2014-T651 alloy is per-formed with one and four passes. The multi-pass processing is performed at a tool rotational speed of 1000 rpm with a traverse speed of 63 mm/min. Microstructural characterization of fric-tion stir processed specimens indicated a significant grain refinement with equiaxed grains in the four pass specimen. Microhardness and tensile strength of the multi-pass specimen decreases with the …

Firing a Laser into the Sky Diverts Lightning Offering Greater Protection to Installations
Abstract: Lightning bolts cause thousands of deaths every year worldwide. Since Benjamin Franklin’s invention of lightning rods made almost 300 years ago, the technology has not been changed even today. The same Franklin lightning rods are used on top of the buildings to steer lightning down to the ground so that they don’t pass through the buildings, and damage the structure or electrocute people. Researchers have recently developed a new type …
