Traditional resistance spot welding (RSW) has been unsuccessful in forming quality
composite joints between steel–or aluminum–polymer-based composites. This has led to …

In this study, the pinless friction stir spot welding of aluminum–copper composite with Zn
interlayer was analyzed under experimental measurement and finite element method. The …

To gain a high strength-to-weight ratio and economic viability for multiple industrial
applications, the Al and steel need to be joined successfully. In the present work, we used …

In the manufacturing sector, welding has long been a popular method of combining
materials. Hence, there has been a lot of research in this area, leading to evolution of …

The objective of present research work is to improve the joint strength of dissimilar FSW of Al
and Mg alloy. The method used for joining Al and Mg alloys is the application of Zn interlayer …

In the present research, friction stir processed (FSPed) nano-hydroxyapatite reinforced
AZ91D magnesium matrix surface composite has been developed with improved ultimate …

In recent years, lightweight structures have been widely used in aerospace field. Refill
friction stir spot welding has been widely used in dissimilar material joining field in recent …

A new variant of friction stir processing named upward friction stir processing (UFSP) is a
promising approach to control particles' distribution and promote a more uniform distribution …

In this work, TaC ceramics with a high density (98.6%) and fine grains (1.42 µm) were
fabricated by high pressure sintering. The as-sintered specimen possessed a high …
