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

This paper examines the use of pre-fabricated interlocking arms/threading in enhancing the
strength of friction stir spot welded hybrid joints of AA2219/PP-C30S polypropylene polymer …

Friction stir processing (FSP) is combined with additive manufacturing (AM) with selective
laser melting to locally enhance the material properties of a metallic part. A groove inside …

Herein, friction stir welding (FSW) of metal matrix composites (MMCs) with different
combinations of the reinforcement and the metal matrix is highlighted with a brief …

The aim of this study is to improve weld characteristics employing a new proposed method
in adding SiC reinforcement nanoparticles to friction stir spot welds (FSSW). 6061-T6 …

A bimetallic ring component is forged by a friction stir assisted forging (FS-forging). A
cylindrical bimetallic blank, magnesium AZ31 cylinder (Mg core) tightly fitted inside an …

Abstract Ni (OH) 2-graphene hybrid bifunctional catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction
(OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were deposited on Ni foam from low cost and …

Lightweight materials and their alloys are increasingly used in automobiles and aircraft due
