The welding of dissimilar metal joints in new and retrofit power plant boiler tubing has long proved challenging. New plants designed to operate at higher temperatures and pressures require ...

Dissimilar metal welding of titanium and aluminum alloys presents a multifaceted challenge owing to the inherent differences in their thermophysical properties and chemical affinities.

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...

In addition to the copper-steel joints presented above, also electromagnetic welding of copper (DHP 250) tubes to aluminum (EN AW-6082-T6) rods was regarded in the JOIN’EM project.

Given this, and the ability to weld dissimilar metals, friction stir welding opens up more opportunities to use aluminum to trim weight. Expect to start seeing FSW everywhere in the automotive sphere.

Simple changes in technique can yield big improvements, say researchers investigating how welding speed and the placement of materials affect the quality of welds between dissimilar alloys. They ...

In the field of global industrial materials, metal explosion composite plates, as a high-performance composite material, are ...

Friction welding is a solid-state joining process that uses high rotational speed and pressure to create heat and fuse metals without melting them. However, when dissimilar metals such as ...

The welding of Grade 91 to lower Chromium (Cr) content materials (Grade 22) resulted in the formation of a carbide depletion zone in the lower Cr content materials in the proximity of the fusion line ...
