Full Description:

Due to the need to reduce overall vehicle mass, vehicle manufacturers are turning to a multi-material approach to vehicle construction more extensively than has been historically the case. However, because of the differences in the chemical and physical properties of these materials, joining is not as straightforward as, say, welding steel to steel.

This study, performed under the auspices of LIFT (https://lift.technology) and the U.S. Office of Naval Research ( https://www.onr.navy.mil), looks at how various materials can be effectively joined as well as at various processes to perform the joining.
