Abstract

This paper is the first to optimize the friction stir welding (FSW) process considering the Clamp Pitch (mm) and Clamping Torque effect using the Various combinations of parameters were constructed using factorial design and responses, resulting in a comprehensive factorial analysis. Conspicuous changes in the tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and power profile were observed for all amalgamations of parameters. Significant parameters of the FSW process have been considered in many optimization studies, however, the effect of the Clamp Pitch (mm) and Clamping Torque (Nm) has been never studied. Three levels of three parameters were used in the experiments: Clamp Pitch, tool rotational speed and Clamping Torque. The full factorial analysis was performed, was applied as an approach for selecting the values of the Significant factors of the parameters. For each result the three key parameters were important with p-values of less than 0.05, suggesting their significance in the phase of FSW. Mathematical models built with high R-sq. and least percentage error were adequate for the investigated responses. The findings were gained by important parameter values factors of 30 mm, 1800 rpm and 70 Nm for the take into consideration parameter range for the Clamp Pitch, rotational speed and Clamping Torque respectively.

Abstract

In the paper results of single- and double-pulse LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) measurements in collinear geometry are described. The experiments were performed using a unique self-made Nd:YAG laser operating in the Q-switching regime, where the laser transmission losses are switched. Such a laser allowed for an easy and quick change of the operating mode (one and two pulses), free shaping of the energy ratio of the two pulses (division of the energy of a single pulse into two parts) and a smooth change of the delay time between pulses in the range from 200 ns to 10 μs. To our knowledge, such a laser was used in LIBS measurements for the first time. LIBS experiments revealed strong self-absorption depending on energy ratios carried out in the first and second laser pulse in the double-pulse mode. This was confirmed also by statistical factorial analysis of LIBS spectra. Plasma temperature and LIBS signal enhancement were measured both for energy proportions between the first and the second laser pulse and for the first-to-second-pulse delay.
