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 …

Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

Current understanding of the principles underlying the thermomechanical processing (TMP)
of α/β titanium alloys is reviewed. Attention is focused on the formulation of constitutive …

In this work, the current understanding and development of friction-stir welding and
processing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy are briefly reviewed. The critical issues of these processes are …

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 …

Abstract The Ti–Al system, specifically with Al wt pct ranging from approximately 4 to 14 pct,
has served as a model system for exploring the deformation behavior of the hexagonal close …

Friction stir processing (FSP) trials were performed on 2mm-thick Ti–6Al–4V sheets using
various processing parameters including tool rotational speed (800–1000RPM) and tool …

A review of the state of research in the field of friction stir welding and processing has been
carried out. The features of plastic flow in friction stir welding and their connection with the …

Heterogeneities of microstructure, tensile and fatigue behavior of FSWed titanium alloy joint
were in-situ studied by utilizing replica, DIC and electron back-scattered diffraction methods …

Friction stir welding (FSW) exhibits significant advantages to join titanium and its alloys
compared to other welding methods. FSW of 3 mm thick titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V sheets was …
