Safer and longer-lasting fusion energy reactors could be made possible following new insights into the behaviour of their welded components. The research, published in the Journal of Materials ...

Engineers at the University of Surrey have developed a novel way to see how crucial welded components hold up under the intense heat expected inside a fusion reactor. Their findings reveal potential ...

The typical images of welding—a robotic arm burping sparks or a masked Jesse James hovering over a glowing metal puddle—don’t apply to friction stir welding (FSW). The metal-joining technique was ...
