Metallic materials are widely used for fabricating medical implants due to their high specific
strength, biocompatibility, good corrosion properties, and fatigue resistance. Recently …

Refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) is a solid-state spot joining method that has attracted
more and more attention from academia and industry at present. RFSSW has been …

We prepared AA6061 sheets by room-temperature rolling and low-temperature aging. We
tested the tensile mechanical properties of the sheets at room temperature and cryogenic …

Refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) is a relatively new solid-state spot welding
technology. Reliability of the joint is mainly affected by the macroscopic characteristics and …

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the friction weldability of Titanium
Grade 2 with ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure obtained by hydrostatic extrusion and …

In this paper, self-piercing riveting (SPR) and friction self-piercing riveting (F-SPR)
processes were employed to join aluminum alloy AA5182-O sheets. Parallel studies were …

The present study reports the effects of RSW process parameters like heating cycle, welding
current and electrode tip diameter on the tensile shear strength and nugget size of dissimilar …

The aluminum alloy and the polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) composites was joined by a new
kind of hybrid welding technology, which combined the welding and riveting joining …

In this paper, an invented electrode named NewTon Ring (NTR) and the other two Flat Top
(FT) electrodes of having 5 mm and 8 mm outer diameter were employed to weld 2 mm AA …

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is widely used in industries such as the aerospace,
