In addition, design andmanufacturing conditions of existing materials need to be constantly improved. Vaporizing foil actuatorwelding (VFAW) is a welding method developed for joining dissimilar metals, which is an important issue,especially in industrial and academic fields. In this study, a welding prototype was created and tested in orderto improve the applicability of VFAW, which has been introduced to the manufacturing field as a newwelding technique, under laboratory conditions. The process of making VFAW using direct current (DC)capacitors has been explained. The study has shown that making VFAW using DC capacitors is possible.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSolid state weldingvaporizing foil actuator weldingprototype designDC capacitorArticle10.17341/gazimmfd.1323654401Q3WOS:0013681477000012-s2.0-85201964114Q2
