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 …

Friction stir welding exploits its solid state process behaviour to join aluminum to steel, which
differs in thermal and mechanical properties, and where combination of these metallic alloys …

Joining of high strength Al alloy (AA7099) to steel (rolled homogeneous armor) with and
without AA6061 interlayer was achieved using a friction stir dovetailing (FSD) method …

Dissimilar metal joining is challenging because of intermetallic compound (IMC) formation.
Solid state welding techniques provide an opportunity. 5083-H116 aluminum alloy and …

In the present paper friction stir-induced diffusion bonding is used for joining sheets of 5754
aluminum alloy to coated high strength steels (DP600 and 22MnB5) by promoting diffusion …

Heat input and high strain rate deformation during friction stir welding of aluminum and steel
resulted in the diffusion-based formation of a Fe x Al y intermetallic compound (IMC) layer …

The joining of a 1.2 mm thickness Al 6016 to a 2mm thickness IF-steel has been performed
by friction stir spot welding (FSSW). The intermetallic compounds (IMC) have been identified …

Lightweighting of vehicles and portable structures is an important undertaking. Multimaterial
design is required to achieve conflicting design targets such as cost, stiffness, and weight …

Joining thick sections of aluminum alloys by friction stir welding (FSW) in a single pass
needs to overcome many challenges before it comes to full-scale industrial use. Important …

Thin sheets of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and one type of Advanced high strength steel,
transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel have been successfully butt joined using …
