The non-fusion weld-brazing process has attracted considerable attention in the automotive
industry due to its lower susceptibility to welding-related defects and high capability to join …

Strain-based design (SBD) of pipelines allows stress owing to displacement-controlled
loads originating from landslides, seismic motions, or frost heaves, to exceed yield stress. In …

A wobble laser was combined with a wire feed during laser root welding of X80 pipeline
steel. The enlarged laser irradiation area and molten pool resulting from the laser beam …

Although in-situ post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) has been a viable method to modify
resistance spot weld microstructure and improve joint mechanical properties, prevailing …

This study investigates the impact of paint baking on the macro and micro-mechanical
properties of resistance spot welds in quenched and partitioned 980 steels. It is observed …

Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel provides enormous potential for auto-body
construction in the automotive sector, owing to its enhanced mechanical behavior. In this …

To accurately model the resistance spot welding (RSW) joint in finite element analysis (FEA),
the constitutive behavior of materials in various weld regions such as heat-affected zone …

Silicon wafers with the thickness of approximately 250 μm were joined successfully using
Al/NiO nano-thermite composites and with an aluminum foil interlayer (thickness of 30 μm) …

The effects of the spot size and beam wobbling on the mechanical properties and
microstructure of the AA 6061 aluminum alloy during laser welding have been investigated …

Mechanical properties of small-size or in-service structural materials are challenging to
obtain using traditional test methods. In this study, a theoretical indentation model, based on …
