The mass saving potential of light-weight materials, such as Al alloys, is beneficial for fuel
economy and reducing CO 2 emissions. However, the wide-spread use of these alloys has …

The diversity and never-ending desire for a better life standard result in a continuous
development of the existing manufacturing technologies. In line with these developments in …

Samples with one through three passes with 100% overlap were created using friction stir
processing (FSP) in order to locally modify the microstructural and mechanical properties of …

ABSTRACT Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has become a leading technique to produce
surface composite on the surface of various materials such as aluminum, magnesium …

In this study, dissimilar AA7075-O/6061-O and AA7075-T6/6061-T6 butt joints were
produced by friction stir welding (FSW), and postweld heat treatment (PWHT) was applied to …

Extruded Al–0.5 Mg–0.3 Si (6063) aluminum and rolled Mg–3Al–1Zn (AZ31B) magnesium
alloy sheets were joined by Friction Stir Welding. The dissimilar metal weld joints exhibit …

Although sound AA6061-T6 joints can be produced by friction stir welding, a loss in strength
takes place in the weld region. In this study, it was demonstrated that the strength of the …

abstract In this work, a structural response of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy to friction-stir welding
(FSW) was studied in wide range of processing conditions in order to establish a better …

Formation of intermetallic compounds in the stir zone of dissimilar welds affects the
mechanical properties of the joints significantly. In order to reduce heat input and control the …

In this study, the effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of friction stir butt-joined AA6061 Al-alloy plates both in O and T6 …
