A key finding from EWIs long history and experience with joining dissimilar

materials is that no one process or set of processing parameters is best or

fits all situations for all material combinations. Each process has
advantages and limitations. A dissimilar material joint is best viewed as a
special application with unique requirements. Successful dissimilar metal
joints are often vital for the technical performance and commercial success
of a design, frequently requiring proprietary development work. For these
reasons, relatively few case studies of dissimilar materials joining have
been published in open literature. Here we
