A Review on the Friction Stir Brazing for Joining Dissimilar Materials by Akeel Dhahir Subhi

“… Friction stir brazing (FSB) is a new technology developed for its ability to join similar and dissimilar metals and alloys resulting in a joint with considerable characteristics through the use of interlayer (braze) material under the action of a pinless rotating tool and other FSB parameters. The frictional heat during FSB is responsible for the melting of the braze material between the two workpieces, while the shoulder action must be satisfactory for the extrusion of the excess braze liquid phase depending on the FSB parameters used. …”

高速重载斜齿圆柱齿轮传动的参数对性能的影响研究 by 王颖, 王三民, 王慧

“…It is hard to meet the performance requirements of little vibration,impact and light weight for high-speed and heavy-duty gear transmissions based on the traditional design method which using the cutting tool for gear parameters selection.Based on basic performance parameter requirements of gear transmissions,a direct gear design method of high-speed and heavy-duty gear transmissions is built.Dynamic load coefficient,maximum contact stress and sliding rate are used together to conduct performance indexes of gear transmissions description.The effect of addendum coefficient,pressure angle,spiral angle,gear ratio and displacements coefficients on basic performance parameters of gear transmissions is investigated and a theoretical foundation of direct gear design and optimization parameters are provided.It is found that,the dynamic load coefficient can be decreased,so as to noise and impact of gear drives are reduced by increment of addendum coefficient and spiral angle,decrement of pressure angle.It is also found that,the slip rate can be decreased by increment of addendum coefficient,pressure angle and spiral angle can decrease the tooth surface contact stress,decrement of gear ratio,and the glue of tooth face and transmission failure can be avoided by optimum displacements coefficients.…”
