The use of the friction stir welding (FSW) process as a relatively new solid-state welding
technology in the aerospace industry has pushed forward several developments in different …

Friction stir welding (FSW), a mature solid-state joining method, has become a revolutionary
welding technique over the past two decades because of its energy efficiency …

This study aims to compare the fatigue behavior of similar and dissimilar polymer weld joints
created after an additive manufacturing process. The fatigue samples were 3D printed in …

Polymer-metal hybrid (PMH) joints of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene random
copolymer (GFRPPR) and aluminum alloy were prepared by the self-made hot pressing …

Additive manufacturing is increasingly used for producing a variety of components. These
components are often not self-contained, and therefore to form a working assembly, they …

We present a new semi-solid state procedure for efficient joining of dissimilar materials. The
process called fed friction stir processing (FFSP) and works based on in-situ injection of …

Tool tilt angle (TTA) is a critical factor that can control material flow in polymeric materials'
friction stir joining (FSJ). This study selected a TTA range between 0° to 4° for FSJ of …

Pavement, as an important transportation infrastructure, plays an essential role in modern
society. Joints and cracks, which are either designed for or created by internal and external …

The aeronautical industry is looking with interest at friction-based welding for many years
due to weight-saving capacities, where fusion-based welding problems can be avoided …

The friction stir welding (FSW) or friction stir spot welding (FSSW) with non-consumable tool
is one of the established processes for joining of thermoplastics/low melting point …
