The flash-butt welding process involves pressing two rail ends together under high pressure after heating them to melting temperature with a high-current electric arc. This causes the ends to coalesce into an accurate weld without filler metal and with a minimal heat-affected zone. To prevent issues with track geometry after cooling, the rail ends are given a slight upward inclination matched to the rail profile. Flash-butt welding produces welds with strength nearly equal to the parent rail and a very low failure rate compared to other welding methods like aluminum thermic welding. Mobile flash-butt welding machines can perform this process automatically on site along rail lines.

Metal forming processes are used to shape metals into useful products. Rolling is the most common forming process and accounts for around 90% of metal forming. It involves passing metal between rolls to reduce thickness or change cross-section. Forging uses dies and compression to shape hot or cold metal.

Welding is a process that joins materials by causing fusion and filling the joint with a filler material. There are several advantages to welding including lighter structures, maximum strength in joints, easy alterations, pleasing appearance, and strength equal to the parent material. Spot welding uses two electrodes to locally fuse materials and is commonly used in automotive and aircraft industries to join sheet metal. MIG welding uses an inert gas shield to prevent contamination and is often used for carbon/alloy steels, stainless steel, aluminum and other metals due to its high welding speed and economy. Common welding defects include lack of penetration, undercut, slag inclusion, porosity, cracks, spatter, and distortion.

Surface hybrid nanocomposites via friction stir processingmohammed noor
Friction stir Processing (FSP) is a new innovative technology developed based on the principle of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technique.
In FSP, the ceramic particulates are reinforced into the base metal by adding it into the groove and Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is performed.
In this study, the aluminum alloy 6061 is chosen as the base metal, alumina and graphite Nano powder as reinforcement.
The process parameters such traverse speed of 64 mm/min and the tool rotational speed of 1060 rpm and tilt angle of 2deg were selected, The Friction Powder Processing was carried out on vertical milling machine.
New parameters such as powder type and number of passes were involved and we also study the effect of heat treatment.
The influence of FSP was checked using some tests such as the microstructure analysis that was carried out using optical microscope (OM) and the mechanical characteristics were analyzed using tensile test and hardness test.
The micrograph results revealed that powder particulates were evenly distributed in the stir zone and reduction in grain size also observed; the reason for the grain size reduction was stirring action of the FPP tool’s pin.
The tensile strength results showed a significant improvement in strength by a percent of
50% compared to base metal but when T6 heat treatment is applied, the tensile strength decreased.

Autogenous laser welding of the AA6082-T651 aluminium alloy was investigated with 3 lasers, namely a pulsed laser of 300W, a disk laser of 4kW and a laser marker of 70W. First, the hot cracking susceptibility was studied with two conventional laser welding equipment, without using filler material or heat treatment. Additionally, an attempt was made to weld with a laser marking equipment. Most of the welds made were laser seam welds but, some continuous and laser spot welds were also tested. As each laser was operated with different parameters, more than 400 welds were obtained with a wide range of parameters. Selected welds were studied with visual inspection, dye penetrant inspection (DPI), optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Results indicated that welds with pulse laser beam tend to develop hot cracking, due to the segregation of silicon-rich low melting point eutectics to the grain boundaries and the development of contraction stresses during solidification. On the other hand, positive results were found with continuous welding since this process results in much longer solidification times and lower stresses. Finally, promising results were obtained with the laser marking machine, which produced high aspect ratio laser seam welds without hot cracking and a penetration of 1 mm using 99.9% of overlap factor. These welds were crack free due to their small weld pool, avoiding segregation effects, and to the heat build-up of successive spots, what had similar effect to solidification in continuous welding.

networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

2. Hardfacing is a metalworking process
where harder or tougher material is applied
to a base metal.
WHAT IS HARDFACING?
Before Hardfacing:
After Hardfacing:
4. FLAWS DURING HARDFACING:
Currently the industry is facing some problems in this
(Hardfacing) processes such as,
1. Cracks.
2. Porosity
3. Blowholes..
Cracks in the specimen:
5. Flaws overcome strategies:
Modify the present Welding Process
Specification(WPS).
Suggest the new procedure according to the
metallurgical properties of work piece if any.
6. Our Research and study:
Removing flaws not possible just by modifying the
present WPS.
We found a process in which the base metal is welded
first with intermediate hardness material.
• The process is known as Buffering Process.
7. In buffering process, the material of intermediate
hardness between alloy steel and stellite is hardfaced
first on valve part and then hardfacing of stellite is
done.
Here, we are using stainless steel for buffering.
Buffering Process:
