Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an advanced technology that has been primarily driven by the demand for production efficiency, minimized energy consumption, and reduced carbon footprints. This process involves layer-by-layer material deposition based...
Due to the high degree of dissimilarity in physicochemical properties between metal and carbon fiber, it presents a tremendous challenge to join them directly. In this paper, cold rolled steel (SPCC) and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP)...
In response to the issue of weak laser connection strength between 304 stainless steel and the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer PCCF30, this study proposes the addition of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) intermediate layer between 304 stainless ste...
One possibility to increase the interface strength of cold roll bonded materials is the application of a thin intermediate layer. In the present study, a tin coating was employed to strengthen the interface formed between cold roll bonded steel sheet...
The automotive and aerospace industries increasingly rely on lightweight, high-strength materials to improve fuel efficiency, making the joining of dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel both beneficial and essential. However, a major challenge...
Shipbuilding and offshore structures employ a wide range of metallic materials, from standard and high-strength steels to non-ferrous aluminium and titanium alloys. While welding remains the dominant joining method, the reliable joining of dissimilar...
Transparent hard and brittle (THB) materials have generated significant interest due to their excellent properties, such as wide spectral transmittance, heat resistance, chemical inactivity and high mechanical strength. To further explore the applica...
Joining fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone resin matrix composite (PEEK-CFRP) with Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy to form a composite structure is a promising manufacturing process. Huge difference of material properties is the biggies challenge to jo...
Aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) have been widely used in many industrial fields thanks to their good plasticity, high thermal conductivity and excellent electrical conductivity. An effective joining of dissimilar Al and Cu materials can make full use o...
The reliable joining of ultra-thick aluminum alloy plates remains a critical technical challenge in modern industrial manufacturing, often hindered by defects such as porosity and excessive distortion associated with conventional fusion welding. The...
After detonation synthesis, primary nanodiamond particles are around 4–6 nm in size. However, they join into agglomerates with larger parameters and weak bonds between particles. The introduction of agglomerates into a metal matrix can lead to the we...
In modern engineering applications, the use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly methods has become increasingly important. Wood joints, especially those strengthened with bio-adhesive, have attracted considerable attention due to their inherent...
Forming hybrid structures into complex shapes is key to address lightweighting of automotive parts. Recently, an innovative joining technique between aluminium and Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) based on mechanical interlocking through sheet...
