Composite metal foams (CMFs) are intriguing materials, offering several big advantages over traditional solid metal. And while the welding of CMFs usually poses some challenges, it has now been been ...

Composite metal foams (CMFs) are foams that consist of hollow, metallic spheres – made of materials such as stainless steel or titanium – embedded in a metallic matrix made of steel, titanium, ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have now identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that ...

GUEST OPINION: Induction heat treatment can modify the mechanical properties of some materials. The induction heat treatment procedure uses electricity to heat a material to a specific temperature ...

Back row: Two tube sections before and after joining. Front row: A typical fuel-system component assembled with the ADRW process. ADRW may also replace furnace brazing in some cases, once considered ...

Several techniques are available for joining thermoplastic composites, including resistance welding and ultrasonic welding. While resistance welding uses Joule heating inside an electrically ...
