Mechanism of keyhole evolution and welding quality of electron beam welded magnesium alloy with scanning path variation via modeling and numerical study by Qianxing Yin, Ziyou Yang, Hui Li, Hejun Du

“…The magnesium-gadolinium alloy was welded by electron beam in vacuum with two different scanning paths, sinusoid path and cochleoid path, indicating the identical heat input, welding speed, and focusing state. The stability of keyhole was mainly related to the frequency of keyhole collapse. …”

Factors affecting weld quality in resistance spot welding of advanced high strength steels by Vahid Feizollahi, Ali Bahmani, Nima Nadimi, Mohammad Reza Salmani, Majid Pouranvari, Yeong-Do Park, Rouholah Ashiri

“…The uncoated samples show greater hardness of fusion zone and tensile-shear strength than coated samples, recording peak load-bearing capacities of 28 kN and 24 kN for medium heat input conditions, respectively. The critical welding current to transition into pullout failure mode was 9.5 kA for uncoated samples and 9.0 kA for coated samples. …”

Review of solar crop drying efficiency and its interconnection with meteorological factors by Mfanafuthi Mthandeni Mkhize

“…Drying rates are instrumental performance indicators, and high values are prevalent in active systems and high-heat-input systems, such as mixed-mode SCDs. Systems with a smaller collector-to-chamber surface area exhibited poor thermal regulation, while divergent inlet-to-outlet chamber areas were shown to mitigate airflow-related temperature losses. …”

Heat Pipe Integrated Cooling System of 4680 Lithium–Ion Battery for Electric Vehicles by Yong-Jun Lee, Tae-Gue Park, Chan-Ho Park, Su-Jong Kim, Ji-Su Lee, Seok-Ho Rhi

“…Results demonstrated that a blended fabric wick with a crown-shaped design (Wick 5) at a 30–40% filling ratio achieved the lowest maximum temperature (<i>T_max</i> of 47.0 °C), minimal surface temperature deviation (Δ<i>T_surface</i> of 2.8 °C), and optimal thermal resistance (<i>R_th</i> of 0.27 °C/W) under 85 W heat input. CFD simulations validated experimental findings, confirming stable evaporation–condensation circulation at a 40% filling ratio, while identifying thermal limits at high heat loads (155 W). …”
