Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) is a fiber-based diagnostic for the extreme conditions
created by high-speed impact, explosive detonation, electrical pulsed power, and intense …

The cause of wavy interface morphology during impact welding is debated in the literature.
In this paper, the effect of internal stress waves is investigated by varying the target (Cu 110) …

Dissimilar joining of aluminum to steel is an important industrial and academic problem. The
present study reports the application of a novel approach in impact welding where a pocket …

This study addresses issues relevant to resistance spot welding of AA5xxx and AA6xxx
dissimilar aluminium alloys. Welding parameters are optimised to provide the maximum lap …

Seam detecting and micro weld tracking are difficult in the laser welding process. In this
paper, a micro gap weld with a width of not more than 0.05 mm is detected and identified by …

Impact welding joint with an inserting interlayer can be used to improve the weldability of
hard-to-weld metal pairs. However, the formation mechanism of wavy interface during …

A technique for producing impact welds with small standoff gaps between dissimilar
aluminum alloys, using the Vaporizing Foil Actuator Welding technique, is demonstrated …

Laser-shock processes, including laser impact welding, are limited by the amount of optical
energy that can be transmitted to a workpiece. This new process, Augmented Laser Impact …

This paper introduces a novel high-velocity impact welding process: the standoff-free
vaporizing foil actuator welding (standoff-free VFAW). This technique employs a new type of …

Many important physical phenomena are governed by intense mechanical shock and
impulse. These can be used in material processing and manufacturing. Examples include …
