Advanced Interface Manufacturing Laboratory

For the purpose of fabricating multi-material structures including high-strength steels and lightweight metals, the present laboratory aims to investigate the bonding interfacial formation mechanism between similar/dissimilar metallic materials during solid-state ultrasonic welding, based on the knowledge of physical metallurgy, mechanic of materials, and manufacturing process. We focus on the correlation of interfacial microstructures and mechanical performance of joints to understand their relationship.
