Modern structural engineering is impossible without the use of materials and structures with
high strength and low specific weight. This work carries out a quantitative and qualitative …

Laser surface texturing (LST) is one of the most promising technologies for controllable
surface structuring and the acquisition of specific physical surface properties needed in …

Laser welding of titanium and aluminum alloys usually generates pores and brittle
intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which degrade the weld mechanical properties. In this …

With the development of manufacturing technology, microtexturing technology has become
a promising way to improve the wettability of heterogeneous metals. In this study, a novel …

Laser texturing is a promising technology with wide-ranging applications in surface
processing. In this study, a nanosecond laser was used to ablate the surface of Q355 steel …

In the present work, the evolution of the final microstructure in 17-4PH stainless steel
additively manufactured and subjected to the laser surface alloying with boron and nitrogen …

Joint seam is always the weak region of the welded joint. The soldered/brazed ceramic joint
always fails through the joint seam due to lower strength of the solder/braze. In this work, to …

Interfacial microstructure, fracture behavior, elemental diffusion, and Si atom substitution
behavior were investigated in laser-welded–brazed Al/Ti joints. The results indicated that …

Typical dissimilar combination of Al and Ti alloy was joined by resistance rivet welding
(RRW) for the first time based on the semi-tubular TC4 rivet. The formation mechanism …

Recently, the automotive and aerospace industries have witnessed increased usage of
titanium alloys. Nevertheless, the fabrication of titanium parts using conventional fabrication …
