A multivariable model describing the system response
(weld tensile strength of 6061-T6 aluminum) of a percussive
stud welding system as a function of five natural
(external) system variables was developed. The five natural
system variables were 1) static weight of the drop-shaft (W), 2) initial stud base height (H₀), 3)...
This thesis investigates a way to fabricate P-N junctions by
percussive welding. The theoretical basis of percussive welding, design
considerations of the apparatus used, and the electrical characteristics
of the junctions were the main objectives of this investigation.
P-type silicon wafers and gold wire doped with arsenic as a
N-type...
