Erratum to 'Design and manufacture of an impact-electric current discharge joining machine' [Materials Science and Engineering A 350/1-2 (2003) 195-201]

摘要

An impact-electric current discharge joining machine, which can simultaneously apply impact load and electric current, has been designed and manufactured to produce a high-strength joint between materials with little change in their appearance. The objective functions of the designed and manufactured impact-electric discharge machine are almost satisfied. Partial joining is achieved between FCD450/FCD450 samples and between FCD450/Al samples and the joints exhibit low fracture stress. Process parameters can be controlled to improve joint strength, by adjusting the setting values of the functions provided in the machine.
