Friction-based welding processes are considered as very efficient solid-state metal joining
processes due to soundness of the welded joint with remarkably less energy consumption …

Abstract 2219 aluminum alloy was mainly used in the propellant tanks of domestic
aerospace vehicles. Porosity was often observed during the VPTIG welding joint of the 2219 …

The main object of the present study is to investigate the effect of nano-sized SiC particle on
the mechanical properties of the friction stir welding (FSW) joints. Prior to FSW, nano-sized …

The joining of heat-treated alloys (AA6061-T6) by the Welding process often results in a
deterioration of mechanical properties because of the coarsening and dissolution of the …

Large and irregular particle sizes of B 4 C in the Mg matrix are performance-impeding
challenges of the as-cast Mg-B 4 C composites. In an attempt to overcome this, the …

This paper investigates the effect of different tool pin morphologies on the inter-mixing
capability, microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion, fracture, and wear behaviors of …

In this investigation the effect of friction stir welding pin geometry on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy joints is studied. The considered pin …

This study investigates the effect of tool pin eccentricity and welding speed on the grain
structure, crystallographic texture, and mechanical properties of friction stir welded (FSWed) …

Four different tools with the pin eccentricity of 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm were
designed to friction stir weld 10 mm thick AA7075-O plate. The effect of pin eccentricity on …

Friction stir welding (FSW) of polymeric materials has recently attracted significant attention.
Herein, we present the effect of the tool pin profile on the FSW of high-density polyethylene …
