X-ray welding of metal-matrix composites.... MMCs are composed of a metal(usually Ti or Al) within which a reinforcing ceramic(usually Al2O3 or SiC) particulate, whisker, or fiber is imbedded. These materials are lighter and have superior mechanical and thermal properties as compared to the base metal and are finding widespread use in many areas. They have great potential for use in the aerospace industry, provided a joining process that maintains the strength of the material can be found. 1, record 2, English, - metal%2Dmatrix%20composite

Les matériaux composites à matrice métallique (MMCs) sont de plus en plus utilisés industriellement car leurs propriétés mécaniques sont meilleures que celles des alliages non renforcés. Les alliages d'aluminium sont généralement renforcés par des particules de carbure de silicium (SiC). Ce type de composite est réputé pour sa résistance spécifique et sa résistance à l'usure élevées mais également pour sa faible usinabilité. 3, record 2, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20composite%20%C3%A0%20matrice%20m%C3%A9tallique

X-ray welding of metal-matrix composites.... X-rays with energies in the range 3-200 keV have penetration lengths on the order of 0. 001-50 mm for various materials. Therefore, they have the potential for use as a volumetric heating source, provided a sufficiently intense source of x-rays is available. Until recently this was not possible. However, with the advent of third-generation synchrotron radiation sources, tunable x-rays with power densities greater than 104 W/cm2 in a 1-2 mm spot can be produced with the use of insertion devices. At such high power levels, localized melting and even vaporization can be induced in a number of materials. If these x-ray beams can be utilized in a controlled manner, they have the potential for use as welding sources for classes of materials that have eluded conventional welding approaches. 1, record 3, English, - X%2Dray%20welding

The early lay barges could lay only one or two kilometres of pipe a day and had to suspend operations in even moderate seas. Modern vessels are designed on the ship or semi-submersible style and are more stable in rough seas than conventional barges. They also offer greatly increased deck and storage space, and some have six welding positions, making it possible to line-up, weld, X-ray and lay continuously at a fast rate. Laying rate is helped by using articulated stingers, especially in deep water. 1, record 5, English, - semi%2Dsubmersible%20pipe%2Dlaying%20barge
