Shave-joining process for dissimilar materials.

Ceramic/metal joining for structures and materials

The paper presents a discussion of the various types of ceramic joining within a conceptual framework based on the fundamentals of wetting, adhesion, and the thermodynamics of interfacial reactions. Examples are given of solid state diffusion bonding of Pt to alumina and brazing of AlN. Most ceramic-metal bonding is conducted at high temperatures, where chemical reaction is to be expected. The ...

Combustion joining of refractory materials

This paper overviews heterogeneous exothermic reactive systems as they apply to the joining of materials. Techniques that are investigated fall under two general schemes: so-called Volume Combustion Synthesis (VCS) and Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS). Within the VCS scheme, applications that are considered include Reactive Joining (RJ), Reactive Resistance Welding (RRW), and S...

Earthquake slip between dissimilar poroelastic materials

[1] A mismatch of elastic properties across a fault induces normal stress changes during spatially nonuniform in-plane slip. Recently, Rudnicki and Rice showed that similar effects follow from a mismatch of poroelastic properties (e.g., permeability) within fluid-saturated fringes of damaged material along the fault walls; in this case, it is pore pressure on the slip plane and hence effective ...

Micro-Study of Dissimilar Welded Materials

The dissimilar joint between aluminum/titanium alloys (Al 6082 and Ti G2) were successfully achieved by CO2 laser welding with a single pass and without filler material using the overlap joint design. Laser welding parameters ranges combinations were experimentally determined using Taguchi approach with the objective of producing welded joint with acceptable welding profile and high quality of ...
