Combining aluminum and steel construction in vehicle manufacturing can offer great lightweighting and strength advantages. The formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in the joints between the materials, however, are known to impair performance.  Prediction of such intermetallic formation is often difficult to assess due to the rapid thermal cycles involved. A new technique for...

The integrity and reliability of joints in lithium-ion battery packs is critically important to manufacturers in industries ranging from automotive to consumer electronics to aerospace. If battery packs fail, it can result in more than just a faulty product -- it can actually be a threat to public safety. Many welding techniques are used to...
