Fusion-diffusion electron beam welding of aluminum‑lithium alloy with Cu nano-coating

As a new method to reduce the temperature in melt pool and subsequently alleviate the Li evaporation loss, fusion-diffusion electron beam welding is proposed for aluminum‑lithium alloy joining achieved by defocused electron beam and pressure. The Li evaporation loss, which was only 9%, was significa...
