Abstract While new materials are introduced in the automotive industry regularly, there seems to be a lack of generalized frameworks for how to do this efficiently and effectively. Multiple studies ha....
Abstract Reducing the weight of automotive components is one of the most achievable solutions for lowering the transport carbon footprint. This is the reason for the rapid increase over the last few y....
Abstract The Friction stir welding (FSW) is recently presented so to join different materials without the melting process as a solid-state joining technique. A widely application for the FSW process i....
Abstract The present study aims to join the dissimilar materials such as Dual-Phase (DP) 600 Steel and AA6082-T6 Aluminum (Al) alloy via the friction stir welding (FSW) process with a reduced intermet....
Abstract Direct welding of coated steels to aluminum alloys is challenging due to high energy requirements, decreased weldability, and unstable weld quality. The present study reports the application ....
Abstract Vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) created nominally solid-state spot welds between high-strength DP980 steel and 6022 T4 aluminum. The effects of varying the impact velocity and angle b....
Abstract The causes of failure due to cracking in the resistance spot welding of the advanced high-strength steels dual-phase 590 (DP590) were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), op....
Lightweighting in the automotive industry has been primarily motivated by fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission targets. The target greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, the fuel economy for the....
