The unique combination of very large strains, high temperatures and high strain rates
inherent to friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) and their dependency …

Among the severe plastic deformation processing (SPD) of materials, high-pressure torsion
(HPT) is known to induce considerable amounts of plastic strain and crucial grain refinement …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) and HEAs-related materials have developed rapidly over the last
decade, and the key issues have gradually emerged when the welding of HEAs are …

The focus of this article is texture development in metals of fcc, bcc, and hcp crystal structure
processed by a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique called equal-channel angular …

The shear textures that develop in friction stir welds are reviewed and discussed. In all the
materials examined, including face centred cubic (fcc), body centred cubic (bcc) and …

Friction stir processing was used to refine the grain structure in 2 mm thick AISI 316L
stainless steel sheets, with a pinless tool, at a constant traverse speed of 63 mm/min and …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and or micron-sized silicon carbide (SiC) particles were
reinforced with Al5083 matrix to develop mono and hybrid composites via friction stir …

A “stop-action” technique was employed to study the grain structure and texture
development during friction stir welding of thin 6016 aluminum sheets. The microstructural …

In this investigation, the local microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and corrosion
behavior of the dissimilar friction stir welded AA2024/7075 joints were evaluated as a …

Microstructural evolution during friction stir-processing of pure iron was studied. The
development of grain structure was found to be a complex process driven mainly by grain …
