Surface quality and castability of steels are controlled greatly by initial solidification.
Peritectic steels suffer more from surface quality problems, including deep oscillation marks …

Dissimilar joints of AA6061 and Ti6Al4V alloys were obtained via friction stir welding using
W-Re pin tools. The intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and the deformation of Ti matrix were …

Ti/Al layered composite was fabricated by explosive welding (EXW). The aim of this work is
to study the microstructure and phase composition of the Ti/Al interface region and its effect …

In the present research, the multilayered composites of Ti and Al have been synthesized by
hot press and hot roll bonding. The effects of annealing temperature and time on diffusion …

A novel nucleation and growth phenomenon for TiAl3 intermetallic phase in Ti/Al diffusion
couple is proposed based on diffusion kinetics. The interdiffusion and intrinsic diffusion co …

Abstract During Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of aluminum (Al 2024) to titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), it
is observed that titanium fragments at the interface get distributed in the weld nugget. These …

Abstract In this work, Al/Ti composite structures are obtained by isothermal compression at
550° C and then annealed at 500–650° C, respectively. The microstructure, elemental …

Bipolar plates represent a significant portion of the cost and weight of a proton exchange
membrane fuel cell stack. As a result, there has been significant interest in using low weight …

Precipitation and growth of intermetallic phases during thermal processing play an important
role in the formation and evolution of heterogeneous microstructure of Ti-Al intermetallic …

This paper closely evaluates the interfacial bonding mechanism between titanium particles
deposited on an aluminum alloy substrate by cold gas spraying followed by friction-stir …
