Joints Strength

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the strengths of fusion-welded joints without filler materials, several resources are recommended, including engineering handbooks and online databases. Key considerations include the specific properties of the stainless steel being used and the welding techniques applied. The referenced document from the Defense Technical Information Center provides relevant data on weld strength calculations. It is essential to account for the thin material thickness when assessing joint integrity. Accurate calculations are crucial for ensuring the reliability of welded structures.

I need to calculate strengths of welds / welded joints.

Could you point me to a handbook or website?

I will be a bit more specific. The welds are fusion welding w/o any filler materials

and the materials to be welded are thin strips of stainless steel (thickness 5/1000 in)

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
