| Abstract Scope |
Joining dissimilar materials often creates zones of material mixing where properties can change rapidly over relatively small distances. This makes small-scale mechanical testing a requirement for understanding the local property variations inside such zones. This data can help guide processing for optimizing materials performance and reliability, particularly when such data is connected to the local structure and chemistry. In this talk, it will be shown how nanomechanical testing can provide both a high throughput screening technique, which is suitable for parallel processing-property exploration workflows, and detailed insight into local deformation mechanisms through carefully fabricated microscale test structures and post-mortem investigations. The material interfaces investigated will primarily focus on laser-welded and laser-clad joining operations on dissimilar metals. |
