This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of
joining technologies called solid-state (SS) welding, as compared to more conventional …

High-velocity impact welding is a kind of solid-state welding process that is one of the
solutions for the joining of dissimilar materials that avoids intermetallics. Five main methods …

When metallic microparticles impact substrates at high enough velocity, they bond
cohesively. It has been widely argued that this critical adhesion velocity is associated with …

Nitinol shape memory alloys are widely explored and applied in various engineering
applications owing to their distinctive shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity. The …

Solid-state bonding can form when metallic microparticles impact metallic substrates at
supersonic velocities. While the conditions necessary for impact-induced metallic bonding …

The 3003 aluminum alloy was welded to the pure titanium by a collision welding method
called as vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW). By designing a groove die with special …

As a new type of impact welding technology, Vaporizing Foil Actuator Welding (VFAW) has
the advantages of high welding efficiency and small heat affected zone, which could avoid …

This paper proposes a novel impact welding method named water-augmented vaporizing
foil actuator welding, in which liquid water is introduced to alter the foil's vaporization …

Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) is a relatively new welding technique that has been gaining
increasing attention from various industries. MPW allows for the welding of dissimilar …

This study explores the feasibility of using planar shock waves generated by vaporizing foil
actuators (VFA) in microfabrication technologies. We conducted experiments to investigate …
