Identifying Research Problems in Solid State Welding

The Research and Consultancy Committee of the Engineering department organized a presentation titled, “Identifying research problems in solid state welding” on April 13, 2023 from 11.30 AM to 12.30 PM. Dr.Stephen Leon.J, Lecturer in Engineering department conducted the program. The presentation started with the need and significance of solid state welding and clear explanation was given on the principle behind joining metal pieces in solid state without melting the parental work pieces. Research problems on different specializations like production, thermal, fluid mechanics, structural engineering and surface engineering related to friction stir welding were discussed. A case study had been done to identify a research problem related to friction stir welding tool design and outcomes on that research is discussed. All the participants benefited from this program.
