Polymer-metal hybrid structures have excellent comprehensive properties and have been
widely used in aerospace, automotive industry, biomedicine, and other fields. There exists a …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3‐D) printing technology (3‐DPT) also referred to as additive
manufacturing (AM) has advanced rapidly and is vastly used in varying manufacturing fields …

In this paper, the post-processing of 3D-printed poly lactic acid (PLA) parts is investigated.
Workpieces are manufactured by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, while they …

Dissimilar joining of 304 stainless steel to PMMA is accomplished by a Nd: YAG pulsed
laser. The light and process were represented by laser peak power, welding speed, defocus …

Laser cutting well-known as a manufacturing process is a rapid, repeatable, and reliable
method that is frequently used for cutting various materials such as thermoplastics. Due to …

Laser direct joining of a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) and an alloy is prone
to thermal defects, thereby reducing the joint performance. This can be avoided by …

Polypropylene (PP) and its composites are one of the hardest to directly join with metals due
to their inherent chemical incompatibility. This paper presents a simple, efficient, and cost …

Abstracts Pretreatment of metal surfaces with micro-pits can significantly increase the
strength of laser transmission joints between polymers and metals. However, the effect of …

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

Recently, laser process modeling has gained widespread adoption, primarily due to its cost
reduction and time-saving benefits, resulting in enhanced process efficiency and …
