Friction stir welding (FSW) has achieved remarkable success in the joining and processing
of aluminium alloys and other softer structural alloys. Conventional FSW, however, has not …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which
was invented to compete with resistance spot welding (RSW) and riveting of lightweight …

This review is on the various techniques and methodologies applied to sensor based
monitoring of the quality and control of defects in an advanced joining process named …

Polymer composites have certain advantages over metals in terms of mechanical as well as
metallurgical properties. These can be joined with similar as well as dissimilar polymer …

Meanwhile the thermo-mechanical conditions during Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of metals
have already been subject of extensive analysis and thoroughly discussed in literature, in …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a very useful variant of the conventional friction stir
welding (FSW), which shows great potential to be a replacement of single‐point joining …

In the last decade, the friction stir welding of polymers has been increasingly investigated by
the means of more and more sophisticated approaches. Since the early studies, which were …

In the present study, the mechanical behaviour of polymer–metal hybrid connections
produced by clinching is investigated. Thin sheets were joined using different tools including …

By the increasing development in applications of engineering plastics, demand for rapid and
reliable welding methods has been increased. One of these joining methods of engineering …

Friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW) techniques are becoming
widely popular joining techniques because of their increasing potential applications in …
