Friction stir welding (FSW) is an effective solid-state joining process that has the potential to
overcome common problems correlated with conventional fusion welding processes. FSW is …

The versatility of FSW as a joining technique for ferrous and non-ferrous metals depends on
fine-tuned process parameters. To date, reports of mixed success exist in the literature on …

The dissimilar weld interface for the AA5083 and HSLA steel alloy pair made by FSW
technique was investigated to explore the impact of the friction heat flow across the …

This study focuses on optimizing friction stir welding (FSW) factors to enhance ultimate
tensile strength (UTS) and Hardness (HN) when joining AA6082 and AA5052 alloys. The …

Multi-material design concept is growing rapidly in association with the advancement of
dissimilar alloy joining technology implementing FSW technique. In this paradigm, the major …

In the present study, an interaction relationship has been developed by following a design
matrix consisting of few combinations of tool rotational speed, traverse speed, and tool pin …

The keyhole was very unstable in the laser welding of aluminum alloys, which was liable to
cause welding defects. To solve this problem, the active laser welding (ALW) and the active …

Lap-welded joints between Ti–6Al–4V and Al–4Cu–1Mg were obtained using water-cooling-
bath friction stir welding at different FSW tool rotation rates. The increase in the tool rotation …

Defective welds substantially hinder the quality of a welded joint, and choosing the best
process parameter to ensure tunnel defect-free welds requires extensive experimentation. A …

The gradient in microstructural morphology due to the mixture of strain-free recrystallized,
partially recrystallized and uncrystallized grains in nugget, TMAZ and HAZ regions is a …
