Abstract
Aluminum metal matrix composites (Al-MMCs) are new promising materials for aviation, aerospace and automotive industries. However, due to the poor weldability they have very limited applications. In this paper, the authors present the welding achievements of Al-MMCs developed by their scientific research team in recent years. Laser welding, liquid phase impact diffusion welding and vacuum brazing were utilized. Based on analysis of microstructure, good joints can be achieved by using these welding methods.
