  1. 1. Friction stir welding of copper canisters for nuclear waste

    Author : Therese Källgren; Rolf Sandström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Friction Stir Welding FSW ; Copper; Welding; Finite Element Method FEM ; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The Swedish model for final disposal of nuclear fuel waste is based on copper canisters as a corrosion barrier with an inner pressure holding insert of cast iron. One of the methods to seal the copper canister is to use the Friction Stir Welding (FSW), a method invented by The Welding Institute (TWI). READ MORE

  2. 2. Robotic Friction Stir Welding for Flexible Production

    Author : Jeroen De Backer; Gunnar Bolmsjö; Giorgos Nikoleris; Anders Robertsson; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction Stir Welding; Automation; Robotics; Aluminium; Lightweight design; Industriell arbetsvetenskap; Industrial engineering; Mechatronics; Mekatronik;

    Abstract : Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a modern welding process that joins materials by frictional heat, generated by a rotating tool. Unlike other welding processes, the material never melts, which is beneficial for the weld properties. READ MORE

  3. 3. Feedback Control of Robotic Friction Stir Welding

    Author : Jeroen De Backer; Gunnar Bolmsjö; Anna-Karin Christiansson; Jorge Dos Santos; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction stir welding; Process automation; Temperature control; Force control; Deflection model; Robotics; Svetsning; FSW; processtyrning; temperaturstyrning; robot; utböjning; kraftstyrning; Industriell arbetsvetenskap; Industrial engineering; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

    Abstract : The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process has been under constant developmentsince its invention, more than 20 years ago. Whereas most industrial applicationsuse a gantry machine to weld linear joints, there are applications which consistof complex three-dimensional joints, requiring more degrees of freedom fromthe machines.

  4. 4. Robot system for flexible 3D friction stir welding

    Author : Mikael Soron; Ivan Kalaykov; Jorge F. dos Santos; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction Stir Welding; robotics; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Automatic control; Reglerteknik; Reglerteknik; Automatic Control;

    Abstract : Applying Friction Stir Welding (FSW) on complex joint geometries requires not only a machine with 3-dimesional work space capacity, but also a sound definition of the part geometry as well as knowledge about the process. Having a joining process, such as FSW, with great characteristics from both seam quality and environmental perspective, but yet only a minor presence in the manufacturing industry may be related to flexibility and cost issues.

  5. 5. Investigation and modelling of friction stir welded copper canisters

    Author : Therese Källgren; Rolf Sandström; Hannu Hänninen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction Stir Welding FSW ; Copper; Welding; Finite Element Method FEM ; SKB; Material flow; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This work has been focused on characterisation of FSW joints, and modelling of the process, both analytically and numerically. The Swedish model for final deposit of nuclear fuel waste is based on copper canisters as a corrosion barrier with an inner pressure holding insert of cast iron. READ MORE
