Rotary friction welding (RFW) is a solid-state joining process that can be used to join
different alloy systems such as aluminum-steel alloys. Rotary friction welding has become …

In the sliding process, mechanical work is widely considered to be dissipated in the form of
heat. The dissipation of frictional energy, especially in scenarios involving material wear at …

The friction stir welding process was simulated for joining AA6082 aluminum alloy with the
use of the computational fluid dynamics method. Two different tool geometries were used—a …

The thermo-mechanical behavior of nanosized Al2O3 particles reinforcing aluminum was
analyzed in the present paper. The material was prepared by spark plasma sintering and …

Cold-sprayed composites' inherent brittleness, caused by the weak interface bonding and
plastic depletion, limits their wide application. Friction stir processing (FSP) as a post …

In this study, for the first time the Ni-Nb-Si composite coating system was prepared on the
In718 superalloy substrate by solid-state cold spraying and modified by solid-state friction …

Grain size of metal phase and interphase property play an important role in enhancing the
strength-ductility synergy of graphene/metal nanocomposites. In this work, we propose a …

The grain refinement behaviors of stainless steel materials subjecting to pre-stress grinding
(PG) were investigated using a 3D FE-CA coupling method in conjunction with experimental …

It is very easy to form bottom defects during friction stir welding (FSW) of medium-thick/thick
Ti alloys, while there is a lack of in-depth research on its essential cause. In this study …

The equiaxed microstructure formed below the β-phase transition point of Ti alloys generally
exhibits an excellent balance of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However …
