The main drawback of friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar metals is the formation of
intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which are brittle and affect the strength of the joint. The …

The substitution of traditional materials with lightweight materials in vehicle structures
requires the development of new joining techniques which are capable of joining un …

Here we present results on the fabrication of steel-aluminum bi-metallic structures using
directed energy deposition additive manufacturing. The challenges associated with the …

Abstract Magnetic Pulse Welding (MPW) is a new solid-phase welding (no heat input and no
auxiliaries) technique. This results in joints with almost no brittle intermetallic compounds …

It is well documented that the mechanical failure mechanism of various compounds of
aluminum 1050 and commercial pure copper (Al/Cu) involves a combination of brittle and …

The development of new joint configurations suitable for dissimilar materials enables a
wider range of applications and allows for an accelerated replacement of traditional …

To achieve the goal of lightweight vehicle and energy-saving, the joining of dissimilar
materials, specifically aluminum (Al) alloy and steel, is gaining increasing attention in car …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process capable of joining a wide range
of light metals. However, liquation and solidification may occur during joining of dissimilar …

Local translational and scaling symmetries in space–time is exploited for modelling ductile
damage in metals and alloys over wide ranges of strain rate and temperature. The invariant …

Al-Mg composite plates has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, but
the existence of hard and brittle phases at its interface greatly hinders its application and …
