Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Volume 240, Issue 3, Page 2479-2494, June 2026.
The joining of dissimilar aluminium-based alloys to thermoplastic polymers is highly challenging which indicates the necessity of friction welding procedures. The present work addresses the degrees of steadiness in welding thrust-torque to monitor the lap ...
