Abstract(s)

The possibility of using solid-state joining technologies, such as friction stir welding (FSW) and its variants, to perform dissimilar joints is one of the well know advantages of this class of processes, namely because they are impossible to be produced by other conventional welding processes due to the evident differences in physical and chemical properties of both materials. Relevant advances have been made over the last 20 years in this field. The material pairs that are mostly addressed in the literature are based on systems involving aluminum alloys and other metallic and non-metallic materials. Indeed, with the upgraded interest in this technology concerning specific engineering applications, some specific material combinations such as aluminum-to-copper (Al-Cu) and aluminumto-ferrous alloys (Al-Fe) have become relevant. However, the research about some material pairs is still scarce or inexistent.
