About

Saeed Azimi is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and lightweight materials joining, with a primary focus on friction stir welding (FSW) and its applications in electric vehicle (EV) battery assembly. His most cited work, "Robotic friction stir welding in lightweight battery assembly of extrusion-cast aluminium alloys" (2023, 14 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the production of battery enclosures for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Azimi pioneered the development of defect-free lap welds between extruded and high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) aluminium alloys using stationary shoulder FSW, achieving smooth surface finishes essential for structural integrity and thermal management. This contribution directly supports the automotive industry's shift toward lighter, safer, and more energy-efficient EV components. His research integrates robotic automation with solid-state welding, offering a scalable solution for high-volume manufacturing. With a growing citation impact, Azimi's work is recognized for bridging materials science and production engineering, making him a notable figure in sustainable mobility and advanced joining technologies.
