by Zheng Sun
International Journal of Materials and Product Technology (IJMPT), Vol. 10, No. 1/2, 1995

Abstract: Products made of dissimilar material joints are becoming increasingly important in industrial applications due to their numerous advantages. These include not only technical advantages, such as desired product properties, but also benefits in terms of production economics. Joining of dissimilar material combinations is, however, a difficult task due to the great differences in physical and chemical properties which may be present. In this paper, important issues relating to joining dissimilar materials are addressed, with particular emphasis placed on the materials and joining processes. As the development of industrial applications continues, requirements for new products containing dissimilar materials will continue to increase. Therefore, the joining of dissimilar material combinations is and will be a fascinating and challenging subject for R&D, and can play an important role in the manufacture of many products.
