A thin strip of 7 mm thickness was manufactured using a twin-roll casting process. Second phase particlesSecond phase particles were segregated at the center region during the solidification of aluminum alloy AA 8011. Such segregations played a vital role in the formation of pinholes. In the present work, the microstructural analysis was carried ou...

Polymer and polymer matrix composite materials are used in automotive applications owing to the high strength-to-weight ratio. However, the joining of polymer matrix composites is a challenging task due to the lower melting temperature, lower thermal conductivity, and agglomeration of reinforcements during fusion welding of these materials. Frictio...
