Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process is an invented welding technique where a non-
consumable tool uses to join two surfaces. Welding speed, tool rotational speed, axial load …

This work is an attempt to select the optimum process parameters for friction stir welding of
aluminium 2024 alloy based on multiple criteria decision making approach. The friction stir …

Abrasive waterjet turning is a newly emerging non-traditional technology for machining
ceramics. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of …

In this study, three different tool pin geometries were studied for friction stir welding (FSW) of
AA 6061-T6 to identify the best tool geometry in terms of the final weld properties. In this …

Abstract Inconel 718 (IN-718) is a nickel-based alloy, mostly used in the aeroengine
applications due to its good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. However, it is …

This work aims to optimize the performance evaluation characteristics such as the
temperature at the weld center of the lap joint (Tw), the tensile shear load (TSL), and the …

The major difficulty when joining commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and aluminum (Al) lies in
the existence of formation of oxide films and brittle intermetallics in the bond region. The …

The gas tungsten constricted arc welding (GTCAW) parameters namely Main Current, Delta
Current, Delta Current Frequency and Welding Speed were optimized to obtain full …

Tool wear during friction stir welding (FSW) of hard particulate reinforced aluminum metal
matrix composites (Al MMCs) are more prominent due to the tool interaction with the …
