Abstract: Features herein relate to an electric arc welding method for creating a multi-pass welded joint comprising the following steps: a first stand-alone toe weld on a first construction element, then, arranging the first construction element and a second construction element in a joining position, with a distance being present between the first stand-alone toe weld and a root area of the welded joint to be created, while maintaining the joining position, making a first weld connection between the first construction element and the second construction element by applying a root pass at the root area, then, applying one or more filling beads, wherein the first stand-alone toe weld, the root pass and the one or more filling beads together form part of the welded joint, wherein the first stand-alone toe weld forms the toe of said welded joint at the side of the first construction element.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a combination of a test rig and test specimen for performing a fatigue test, wherein the test specimen is non-axisymmetric and comprises:—a central element,—a first branch element, which has a longitudinal axis that extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the central element,—a joint connecting the first branch element to the central element, which has an in plane bending resonance frequency with an associated in plane bending mode shape, and an out of plane bending resonance frequency with an associated out of plane bending mode shape, wherein the in plane bending resonance frequency and the out of plane bending frequency are substantially the same, wherein the first node of the in plane bending mode shape and the first node of the out of plane bending mode shape are substantially at the same position at the first branch element and wherein the test rig comprises:—a support for supporting the test specimen,—an excitator for subjecting the test specimen to forced vibration at

Abstract: Methods for electrochemical deposition of a metal coating on a metal substrate are described. The method may use an ionic liquid as an electrolyte, and the substrate may comprise a first metallic element. Method steps may include pretreating the substrate by etching in an ionic liquid containing metal ions of a second metallic element, removing metal ions of the first metallic element from the substrate, wherein the metal ions of the first metallic element are received by the ionic liquid, depositing a transition layer on the substrate from the ionic liquid, wherein metal ions of the first and second metallic elements are incorporated in the transition layer, and depositing a coating on the transition layer by electrochemical deposition from an ionic liquid containing ions of the second metallic element.
