Friction stir welding is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which is widely adopted
in different industry fields to join different metallic alloys that are hard to weld by …

Three-dimensional viscoplastic flow and heat transfer during friction stir welding of mild steel
were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The equations of conservation of …

In the friction stir welding (FSW) process, heat is generated by friction between the tool and
the workpiece. This heat flows into the workpiece as well as the tool. The amount of heat …

A three-dimensional heat transfer model for friction stir welding (FSW) is presented in this
paper; a moving coordinate is introduced to reduce the difficulty of modeling the moving tool …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a manufacturing process that many industries have adopted to
join metals in a solid state, resulting in unique properties. However, studying aspects like …

Three-dimensional nonlinear thermal and thermo-mechanical numerical simulations are
conducted for the friction stir welding (FSW) of 304L stainless steel. The finite element …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process in which a non-consumable
rotating third body (a cylindrical tool) is used to provide the source of heat, and can be …

Three-dimensional visco-plastic flow of metals and the temperature fields in friction stir
welding have been modeled based on the previous work on thermomechanical processing …

Three-dimensional (3D) viscoplastic flow and temperature field during friction stir welding
(FSW) of 304 austenitic stainless steel were mathematically modelled. The equations of …
