Dissimilar Metals Joining (Page 5)

Manufacturability is an important consideration in product design. A great idea in prototype will not succeed if it can’t be transitioned to mass production. All too often, however, manufacturability factors are overlooked until late in the design process and problems arise. One critical aspect of manufacturing is materials joining. If joining considerations are made after...

The AWS Detroit Section has issued a call for papers for its upcoming Sheet Metal Welding Conference XIX. The conference will emphasize recent developments in welding and joining solutions that enable new generations' vehicle design and construction. You are invited to submit technical papers for presentation at this conference. Abstracts are due by March 28....

Electric vehicles and consumer electronics depend on high-capacity, highly efficient batteries, and the demand continues to rise. Critical to producing these batteries is the successful welding of foil-to-tab joints which are often made of dissimilar materials with dissimilar thicknesses. This process is complicated, and the failure of a single joint will compromise an entire battery...
