Numerous industrial applications, particularly those in the transport industry, require the
joining of dissimilar materials which offers considerable benefits in terms of low cost, design …

Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

Microstructural heterogeneity in weld nugget zone (WNZ) of dissimilar AA7050-AA2024
friction stir welding joint and its effect on galvanic corrosion (GC) were explored. The …

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 …

Given the widely usage and corrosion tendency of AA5083, it is crucial and highly desired to
transform intrinsically hydrophilic AA5083 to be water-repellent superhydrophobicity. In this …

The next generation of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants are expected to operate at
higher temperatures than those currently in use, for improved efficiency and reduced cost of …

Present study investigates the effect of microstructure on electrochemical response of
commercially pure aluminium. Electrochemical testing included OCP measurements and …

The present study comprises the comparison of the electrochemical behavior of friction stir
weld (FSW) joint and tungsten inert gas (TIG) weld joint of AA2014 using immersion test …

This work reports for the first time the effect of femtosecond laser shock peening (fLSP)
without a sacrificial overlay under atmospheric conditions (no confinement) on the corrosion …

A combined electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) approach showed that the corrosion behaviour of 5083 Al alloy was …
