In recent studies, critical research interest exists in the thermo-mechanical analysis of the
friction stir welding (FSW) process by numerical simulation. In this review, the thermo …

Ti/steel clad plates have good corrosion resistance and lower titanium cost. However, the
low interfacial bond strength severely restricts their wide application. In this study, a new …

The metal-thermoplastic hybrid structure has been widely employed in the aviation and
aerospace industry. In this work, we developed a feasible way of laser surface texturing to …

Carbon fiber reinforced AA5052 bulk composites were successfully fabricated by multi-pass
friction stir processing (FSP), aiming to improve the wear-resistance of AA5052. The …

A thermoplastic ABS and an aluminium alloy 6061-T6 were joined using friction lap welding
(FLW). The joint characteristics were evaluated to investigate the effects of 6061-T6 surface …

The mechanical properties of solid state bonding joints have always been greatly
deteriorated due to surface oxide scales. Here, we report a method to completely heal solid …

In this study, the hot compression bonding (HCB) tests of 2196 Al-Cu-Li alloy were carried
out under different temperatures, strain rates and strains. The interfacial microstructure …

Friction rolling additive manufacturing (FRAM) is an emerging solid-state additive
manufacturing technology for high-strength aluminum alloys that are prone to produce …

This study is aimed to develop a new criterion to predict the solid-state welding quality of
magnesium alloy during the porthole die extrusion of hollow profiles. In this criterion, the …

Enhancing the mechanical strength of highly conductive pure metals usually causes
significant reduction in their electrical conductivity. For example, introducing phase/matrix …
