Metal–polymer hybrid structures have been widely used in research into their lightweight automotive applications, because of excellent comprehensive properties. As an efficient technology for automatic connection dissimilar materials, laser joining has great application potential and development value the field design. However, due to physical chemical differences between metals polymers, forma...

Joining of the similar & dissimilar materials alloys using heat friction in currently being used, especially for non-ferrous which are considered as non-weldable alloys. Al 2024-T6 6061-T6 having length 70mm and 12mm diameter were welded by welding process. Similar samples obtained applying different combinations parameters like pressure 30bar, forging from 50 to 60 bar, rotational speed 22...

Ultrasonic inspection of dissimilar welds is still a challenge due to the different acoustic impedances across the interfaces between parent metals, welded, butter or cladded regions. Typically parent metals are fine grained carbon/ferritic/20MnMoNi55 steel, which show isotropic character. Whereas weld/butter/cladded metals are INCONEL/ austenitic steel, which exhibit anisotropic character, att...

The effect of weld heat input on the formation of intermetallic compound (IMCs) layer during arc welding–brazing of aluminium and steel dissimilar alloys, was investigated through both finite element method (FEM) numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The results of FEM analysis as well as welding experiments indicated that increasing weld heat input increases the thickness of IMC...

Nowadays, strong, light-weight, multi-functional, high performing products are key for achieving success in the worldwide markets. Meeting those requirements calls for enabling technologies that lead to innovative and sustainable manufacturing [1]. A joint technique is one or a combination of the available mechanical, chemical, thermal processes to create a bond between materials with a number ...
