This paper investigates the effect of dwell time and heat treatment on the modified friction stir
clinched (MFSC) joint of AA2024-T3/AA6061-T6 Al alloys. The precipitation-hardening heat …

This study employs various Friction Stir Welding (FSW) tools to investigate mechanical
properties of Al 6061-T6 joints. Welding tools were cut to form one-sided conical shape pin …

The 3rd generation of aluminum–lithium (Al–Li) alloys provides a desirable combination of
high mechanical properties and low density compared to their traditional counterparts …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been extensively researched to widen their uses due to their
outstanding particular features and the fact that they are one of the lightest metals. Mg alloys …

The high vacuum die casting (HVDC) AlSiMgMnCu alloy sheets were successfully welded
by stationary shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) technique, and a post-weld heat …

Heat-carrying capacity of a cooling medium is critical as it governs microstructure evolution
and tensile properties during friction stir welding (FSW). In this research, three cooling …
