Fu, J. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)Oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) Eurofer steel was laser welded using a short pulse duration and a designed pattern to minimise local heat accumulation. With a laser power of 2500 W and a duration of more than 3 ms, a full penetration can be obtained in a 1 mm thick plate. Material loss was observed in the fusion zone due to metal...journal article 2021

Lin, Zidong (author), Goulas, C. (author), Ya, Wei (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a 3D metal printing technique based on the arc welding process. WAAM is considered to be suitable to produce large-scale metallic components by combining high deposition rate and low cost. WAAM uses conventional welding consumable wires as feedstock. In some applications of steel components, one-off...journal article 2019

Amirthalingam, M. (author), Van der Aa, E.M. (author), Kwakernaak, C. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author)The partitioning behaviour of carbon, phosphorous and boron during the solidification of a resistance spot weld pool was studied using experimental simulations and a phase field model. Steels with varying carbon, phosphorous and boron contents were designed and subjected to a range of resistant spot welding thermal cycles. Mechanical properties...journal article 2015
