The single lap shear test is widely used to measure the strength of dissimilar welds even
though such a test brings limited understanding of the intrinsic weld toughness. The present …

Controlling the Fe–Al intermetallic layer thickness along the joint interface has remained a
critical challenge in gas metal arc welding of galvanised steel and aluminium alloys. An …

The joining of dissimilar hard metals such as high-strength steel and nickel-based alloy is
required for shipbuilding and offshore applications to enhance the strength, fracture …

For the first time, planar joints between pure aluminum and galvanized or uncoated DP450
steel joints have been developed via magnetic pulse welding. Both present a wavy interface …

The joining of Ti to stainless steel would allow cost-effective and light weight designs for
many applications. For friction stir spot welding of Ti to steel with lap configuration, dwell …

Dissimilar materials, aluminium 2024-T3 and ultralow carbon steel, have been welded by a
novel process called friction melt bonding. A finite element thermal model is developed to …

Effectively joining Al alloy to advanced ultrahigh-strength steels (AUHSSs, the strength over
1 GPa) shows the considerable potential in lightweight design with the increase in the …

In the present paper, mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of different dissimilar
weldments fabricated by friction stir welding were investigated. Existence of lamellar …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of electrically assisted brazing (EA-brazing)
joints of aluminum alloy 6061-t6 (AA6061-t6) and S45C steel are experimentally …

Aluminum (Al) alloys are increasingly used in the transportation industry to reduce the
weight of vehicles due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. These applications unavoidably …
