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 …

With the successful application of the flat spot friction stir welding technology to aluminum
alloys, this technique was expanded to the spot lap welding of 1mm thick mild steel in this …

In this work, electron backscatter diffraction and digital image correlation techniques were
employed to study the microstructure and microstructure-property relationship in friction-stir …

The microstructure and texture evolution of a commercialized twinning‐induced plasticity
automotive steel during friction stir spot welding/processing are addressed. The welding is …

Friction stir spot welding was done in transformation-induced plasticity steel sheets coated
with zinc. The influence of tool rotational speed and dwell time on the microstructure and …

A type of abnormal blocky microstructure (BC), which is responsible for low or unstable low-
temperature impact toughness, is observed in some low-alloy steels used for heavy forgings …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the conventional and hybrid friction stir
welded joints of a TRIP steel were investigated. For the aim of hybrid welding, oxy acetylene …

The weld seam characteristics of continuously roll formed and induction seam welded
TRIP690 tubes were examined in this work. These tube are subsequently used in …

Joining process and failure behaviours of friction stir spot welded (FSSW) joints of two
dissimilar ferrous alloys, cold rolled carbon steel (SPCC) and 409L stainless steel (SUS …
