...Lin Deng; Tianle Lv; Yongbing Li; Wayne Cai; Amberlee S. Haselhuhn; Blair E. Carlson; Michael P. Balogh; Daad Haddad Resistance spot welding of aluminum alloys (Al RSW) is known to be very challenging, in part due to the undesirable and hard-to-predict asymmetric growth of the weld nugget...

... for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) solid lubricant. The influence of solid lubricant coating prepared with different binders on the stamping properties of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy was compared and analyzed using the cupping test. A lubrication model was developed based on the results. Due to the difference in the molecular...

... made using the finite element method (FEM) in the Deform 3D program. The input material was 2017A aluminum alloy in the form of rods and sand cast preforms. On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the use of cast preforms reduces material waste by about 80% in relation...

Szpunar The present work focused on the effect of the electric current pulse type on the springback, microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties during the V-bending process of AA2024 aluminum alloy...

...Laura Angélica Ardila-Rodríguez; Bruno Bellini Medeiros; Aline Capella de Oliveira; Dilermando Nagle Travessa This study compares two processing routes, selective laser melting (SLM) and flame spray (FS) to fabricate an Al/MWCNT composite layer over an aluminum alloy 6013 (AA6013) substrate...

...Lin Deng; Ming Lou; Yongbing Li; Blair E. Carlson Self-piercing riveting has been widely used in vehicle body manufacturing to join aluminum alloys or aluminum to steel. However, it is difficult to rivet ultrahigh strength steel (UHSS) because of its resistance to piercing of the rivet...

...Sudhy S. Panicker; Sushanta Kumar Panda Automotive industries are very much interested in implementing warm forming technology for fabrication of light weight auto-body panels using aluminum alloys without localized thinning or splitting. A nonheat treatable and low formable AA5754-H22 aluminum...

... joint flange couch joint aluminum alloy porosity joint geometry car automotive In the past few decades, the use of lightweight alloys has been growing at an accelerating rate in many industrial sectors such as aerospace, rail vehicles, and automotive industries. Aluminum alloys allow...

..., rivet and riveting tools was generated. The model simulates the rivet piercing and deformation of 2 mm thick aluminum alloy AA5052. It was found that rivet speed and rivet leg chamfers are the main factors to influence the gap between the workpieces and consequently the quality of the riveted joints...
