Abstract
The paper deals with the possibility of making solid-phase joints of advanced structural quasi-crystalline and intermetallic alloys, aluminium composites and nanomaterials by diffusion and friction stir welding using nanostructured fillers. It is shown that these welding processes allow producing permanent joints of difficult-to-weld materials applied in fabrication of aerospace products, parts of gas turbine engines, electrical engineering and heat exchanger units, in repair and restoration operations.
Keywords: aluminium alloys, aluminium composites, quasicrystalline alloys, intermetallic materials, weldability, perma¬nent joint, solid-phase joint, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, diffusion welding, friction stir welding, nanostructure, mechanical properties, welded.
