Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process. This joining
technique is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used …

Friction-stir welding is a refreshing approach to the joining of metals. Although originally
intended for aluminium alloys, the reach of FSW has now extended to a variety of materials …

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 …

Additive friction stir deposition is an innovative solid-state additive manufacturing process
that creates near-net-shape 3D components based on deformation bonding rather than …

Residual stress is lower in friction stir welding (FSW) compared with other melting weldment
processes. This is due to being solid-state process in its nature. There are several …

A thermal model of friction stir welding was developed that utilizes a new slip factor based
on the energy per unit length of weld. The slip factor is derived from an empirical, linear …

Friction stir welding (FSW) has developed as an alternative to conventional fusion-based
welding. This paper provides an overview of the recent research on “Friction Stir Welding …

The effect of tool geometry on the plastic flow and material mixing during friction stir spot
welding (FSSW) is investigated using the particle method approach. For spot welds made …

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a novel kind of welding for joining metals that are impossible
or difficult to weld by conventional methods. Three-dimensional nature of FSW makes the …
