  • Welded joints tend to experience different forms of failure due to complexity of environmental factors and static performance parameters during welding.

    “Welded joints tend to experience different forms of failure due to complexity of environmental factors and static performance parameters during welding13.”

    From Investigation of joint formation in aluminum wire and nickel-coated copper terminals using ultrasonic welding (2025) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Conclusions (section 5; page not specified) report different failure modes for under-weld, good-weld, and over-weld Al–Cu joints. The paper also examines how welding amplitude, pressure, and time affect joint strength, but the cited passages do not attribute the failures to environmental factors. Its findings are specific to the ultrasonic joints studied, rather than welded joints generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
