Abstract The most common method for characterizing the strength of brazed joints is uniaxial tension testing single lap (SLJs). Standard interpretations depend on assumption that average shear stress at failure key metric in determining joint strength. However, it evident from geometry distributions must be inhomogeneous with lag type concentrations ends overlap regions. Eccentric loading cause...

Keywords: Shear strength Microstructure Single-shear lap joint Intermetallic compound (IMC) Aging a b s t r a c t The effects of isothermal aging on the microstructure and shear strength of Sn37Pb/Cu solder joints were investigated. Single-lap shear solder joints of eutectic Sn37Pb solder were aged for 1–10 days at 120 °C and 170 °C, respectively, and then loaded to failure in shear with a cons...

This paper presents a review of various interlayers employed to enhance the properties similar and dissimilar materials welded by resistance spot welding (RSW). The commonly used base are steel, Al alloys/steel, Al/Al alloys, Al/Ti Al/Mg etc., proposed researchers include Zn, Ni, Sn, galvanised SS304, Al–Mg, AlSi12, graphene, carbon nanotube, etc. Microstructural changes due incorporation were ...
