Emerging trends in manufacturing such as light weighting, increased performance and
functionality increases the use of multi-material, hybrid structures and thus the need for …

Spot welding, particularly resistance spot welding (RSW), is a critical joining process in
automotive industry. The development of advanced high strength steels for applications in …

Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

The requirement for a probe, or pin, in friction stir spot welding (FSSW) leads to an
undesirable keyhole and “hooking,” which can influence the fracture path and weld strength …

The study was aimed at evaluating the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-
speed fiber laser welded high strength low alloy (HSLA) and DP980 dual-phase steel joints …

The aim of this study was to identify the effect of fiber laser welding (FLW) on the
microstructure, hardness, tensile properties and fatigue performance of high-strength …

Abstract In the present study, 7.8 mm thick AA2219 rolled plates were successfully filling
friction stir welded (FFSW) without keyhole using a semi-consumable tool. The influences of …

A new technique of filling friction stir welding (FFSW) relying on a semiconsumable joining
tool has been developed to repair the keyhole left at the end of friction stir welding (FSW) …

In this work, we have employed a unique solid-sate joining process, called friction bit joining
(FBJ), to spot weld aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T6 and dual phase (DP) 980 steel. Static joint …

The hybrid use of dissimilar lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy and advanced
high strength steel (AHSS), has become a critical approach to reduce the weight of ground …
