An Investigation of the Soldering and Brazing Behaviour of Mg-Mg Joints using Sn, Zn and Mg containing Filler Metals
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-10)In order to evaluate the feasibility of forming Pure Mg – Pure Mg and Mg Alloy – Mg Alloy joints using soldering and brazing, four filler metals (Sn, Sn-9Zn, Sn-9Zn+X wt%Mg and Mg:Zn:X(Sn-9Zn)) were used at peak heating ... -
Investigation on Reaction Mechanisms of Nano-energetic Materials and Application in Joining
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)Nano-energetic materials, also known as metastable intermetallic composites (MICs), have shown promise in applications such as propellants, pyrotechnics, and explosives. The work in this thesis pursues a deep understanding ... -
Mechanistic Studies of Interface Formation Between AA3003 and AA4045 Alloys During Fusion™ Casting
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-30)Fusion™ casting is a unique Direct Chill (DC) continuous casting process whereby two different alloys can be cast simultaneously, producing a laminated aluminum ingot. Empirically derived operating ranges exist for Fusion™ ... -
Metallurgical Issues in Low-Temperature Joining of Silver Nanowires
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-24)Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have a wide range of applications in the electronic industry and are attracting growing world-wide interest because of their unique thermal, chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. ... -
Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Nanothermites for Joining
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-19)Thermite reactions were well studied in the past few decades; however, implementation of these reactions with nanoscale components is a new interest for today’s researchers both for military and civil industries. Nanothermites ... -
Vacuum Brazing of Carbon Nanotube Strands
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-28)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) discovered at 1991 have attracted great interest for applications in Nano-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (NEMS). However, the search for methods to join CNTs with metallic parts has been a worldwide ...
