In order to meet the demand for lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles, a significant attempt
is currently being focused toward the substitution of aluminum for steel in the car body …

A new solid-phase technique called friction stir dovetailing (FSD) has been developed for
joining thick section aluminum to steel. In FSD, mechanical interlocks are formed at the …

Dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of heat (AA 6082-T6) and non-heat (AA 5754-H22)
treatable aluminium alloys, in lap joint configuration, was performed in this work. The base …

An attempt has been made to investigate Fe-rich fragments and surrounding intermetallic
compounds in aluminum-steel friction stir welds using conventional EBSD+ EDS as well as …

A novel self-riveting friction stir lap welding technique was developed by the prefabricated
holes to realize sound and effective joining of 6082-T6aluminum alloy to QSTE340TM steel …

Friction stir lap welding is a solid-state joining technique used to effectively fabricate high-
quality lightweight and energy-efficient hybrid structures by overlapping thin parts of Al and …

Here we present a novel thermomechanical processing for constructing heterogeneous
microstructure of Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloys. This induced a heterogeneous microstructure …

Automobile, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries are looking for lightweight materials for
cost effective manufacturing which demands the welding of dissimilar alloy materials. In this …

Macrostructure, microstructure, and distribution of phases through the interface were
analyzed for friction-stir-welded joints 5083 aluminum alloy and 316L steel. Several …

AA6061 aluminum alloy and AISI 316L steel were joined by friction welding with a specific
steel collar fixed on aluminum side to control its expelling, flash morphology, and the …
