As lightweight automotive structures improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide
emission, they have garnered extensive attention. Vehicle mass reduction, which is a key …

Laser lap joining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) to titanium (Ti) alloy using
various scanning speed was performed and the influence of scanning speed on joining …

Titanium (Ti) alloys are widely used in industrial manufacturing, medical treatment, vehicles,
and other fields. When welded with other alloys, due to great differences in physical and …

Mg alloy/austenitic stainless steel (ASS) joints were produced by resistance element weld-
bonding (REWB) and resistance spot weld-bonding (RSWB) techniques. Both joints …

Laser welding/brazing of AA5182 Al to ZEK100 Mg in a lap joint configuration was
performed by using a Ni interlayer. The stick-out width of Ni interlayer (WNi) had significant …

Joining dissimilar metals is a major challenge in joining technology; the weldability of
immiscible systems is especially challenging. In this study, a design methodology for …

The welding between Mg and Ti alloys is challenging, as Mg and Ti do not react with each
other and their mutual solubility is also very low. To investigate the bonding mechanism and …

Activating flux is made up of inorganic material mixed with a volatile medium. The objective
of this study is to identify and review the literature in activating flux, and different type of …

In this paper, TC4/AZ91D bimetallic composites has been prepared by liquid–solid
compound casting process adapting various thickness of Cu coating. The effects of Cu …

The influence of tin foil and Ni coatings on microstructures, mechanical properties, and the
interfacial reaction mechanism was investigated during laser welding/brazing of Al/Cu lap …
