In recent times, any engineering material is deemed worthwhile only if it satisfies functional characteristics such as weldability, formability, machinability, etc. Aluminum-based metal matrix composites have extensive usage in modern automobile parts, aircraft components, and ship structures, mainly due to their attractive properties such as low cost, high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion and wear resistance. Friction stir welding is one of the most versatile solid-state joining processes to ensure weldability between two AMC plates. In this research work, an analysis of FSW process through parameters (e.g., composition of alumina, spindle speed, feed, etc.) in joining Alumina reinforced aluminum alloy composites Al 6061 and Al 2024 together at various proportions by analyzing properties like impact strength, hardness, flatness, and ultimate tensile strength has been done. Finally, optimization is carried out to select the best possible combination using a multi-attribute decision-making technique called the complex proportional assessment of alternatives.

The need for less weight and high-performance materials in manufacturing industries has continuously led to the development of lightweight materials through the use of advanced additive manufacturing (AM). The race of lightweight and high-performance metals continue to evolve as this continuously provides better understanding about connection existing between material processing, microstructural development, and material properties. AM technique is an interesting manufacturing process that is employed in production of engineering components with improved properties. The choice of titanium and its alloys in structural applications are attributed to their superior strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. This chapter looked at different additive manufacturing (AM) techniques developed for the processing of lightweight metals, their strengths, and limitations. The chapter also looked at the role and contribution of AM to the 4th industrial revolution, processing, and application of titanium aluminide for high temperature applications.

Additive manufacturing is a strategy to produce parts with complex geometries whose process is prohibitive in cost or impossible through subtractive or formative techniques. Research groups are optimizing additive manufacturing processes to improve their performance and reduce the cost of aerospace parts. One of the emerging design techniques is self-assembly which seeks to reduce the number of parts to produce best design practices and rules. Self-assembly represents a comprehensive strategy that improves process time, product quality, cost of materials, and printability. The purpose of this chapter is to review the technological contributions that self-assembly has had in the additive manufacturing of aerospace parts. Future perspectives of the role of self-assembly in additive manufacturing are proposed. According to what was found in this research, self-assembly will facilitate the additive manufacturing of parts in various technological sectors where the manufacture of lightweight parts with high added value and restrictive regulations are required.

Aluminium and its alloy are widely employed in various automobile and aircraft areas because of their unique specific strength and formability. Al alloys that have been employed in aerospace structural components will undergo dynamic loading, which leads to fatigue due to mechanical stress and thermal conditions. Considering studies toward the low cycle fatigue behaviour of Al alloys are significantly narrowed, this chapter sighted to the analysis of fatigue behaviour of Al 6063 alloy at the various total strain amplitude (TSA) of 0.4% and 0.8%, which performed through the low cycle fatigue testing machine at the frequency rate of 0.2 Hz. The test results show that for 0.4% TSA, the number of cycles to failure (N) is 1786, whereas as the TSA increases, N got reduced. For 0.8% TSA, the cycle to failure is 291 and samples undergone cyclic softening during the test. The rate of cyclic plastic strain raised up with the increase in the TSA. Crack propagation was observed along with the quasi-cleavage fracture for 0.4% TSA and cleavage fracture for 0.8% TSA.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is considered to be the most significant development in solid state metal joining processes. This joining technique is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding. The project aims to join Aluminum 6063 alloy plates by FSW and emphasize the (1) mechanisms responsible for the formation of welds without any defects, microstructural refinement, and (2) effects of FSW parameters on resultant microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties.

Polymers have been adopted industrially in the manufacture of lenses for optical applications due to their attractive properties such as high hardness, high strength, high ductility, high fracture toughness, and also their low thermal and electrical conductivities. However, they have limited machinability and are therefore classified as hard-to-machine materials. This study conducts a critical review on the machining of various polymers and polymeric materials, with particular focus on poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). From the review it was concluded that various machining parameters affect the output qualities of polymers and which include the spindle speed, the feed rate, vibrations, the depth of cut, and the machining environment. These parameters tend to affect the surface roughness, the cutting forces, delamination, cutting temperatures, tool wear, precision, vibrations, material removal rate, and the mechanical properties such as hardness, among others. A multi-objective optimization of these machining parameters is therefore required, especially in the machining of PMMA.

Impulse thermal energy method (ITEM) as modification of the thermal energy method that is successfully used for finishing is considered for application to thermoplastics. The chapter focuses to highlight the basic principles of the thermoplastics treatment by acting heat fluxes inherent to ITEM providing the time-controlled production of combustion species. The properties of thermoplastics and the requirements for their treatment have the greatest impact on processing settings. Thus, the questions of the choice of the preferred fuel mixture, the type of its ignition, and combustion have been studied. By means of numerical situating, the processes of melting and healing of pores during processing are investigated. A method of defining processing settings has been developed, taking into account the limitations on critical temperatures. The promising possibilities of ITEM in relation to the processing of thermoplastics parts obtained by additive technologies are outlined.

Various joining techniques are consistently used in fabrications and maintenance applications of numerous parts in manufacturing industries. Typically, the friction welding technique acquired attention in joining of aluminum and its different alloys for very general structural usages in small to medium to large-scale manufacturing sectors. This is an experimental attempt to weld aluminum 6061 alloy T6 grade of 3mm thickness metal sheets. The hexagonal-shaped steel pin of grade H13 is used. The experiment is performed by using the Taguchi L9 approach, and nine welded specimens are prepared. The chosen factors are rotating speed of the tool, tilting angle, and feed. After the welding, the tensile testing is followed for the measurement of strength of the welded samples. The analysis suggested that the chosen working limits of feed and rotational speed is significant and having impacts on weld strength. The maximum strength is obtained as 212MPa when the ranges of above said factors are 560RPM, 0degree, and 20mm/min.

In order to take more stringent measures in fuel economy and achieve the determined performance targets, the automotive industry needs to reduce the weight of the vehicles it produces. For this reason, all automobile manufacturers have determined their own strategies. Some manufacturers use lighter aluminum, magnesium, and composite components in their cars. In this study, the joining techniques of lightweight materials such as welding and the processes of their industrial use have been examined. There is currently no single technology that can combine all metallic panels in a car body structure. However, it is known that various joining technologies are used together. With the potential to combine certain combinations of steel and aluminum, manufacturers and scientists continue to work to identify technologies with the highest potential for lightweight joining and put them into use in high-volume automobile production. Therefore, it is important to examine the weldability of light materials such as magnesium, titanium, and aluminum.
