Friction stir welding is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which is widely adopted
in different industry fields to join different metallic alloys that are hard to weld by …

This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of
joining technologies called solid-state (SS) welding, as compared to more conventional …

This article aims to study water-cooling effects on residual stress friction stir welding (FSW)
of AA6068-T6 aluminum alloy. For this reason, the FSW and submerged FSW processes are …

This book will summarize research work carried out so far on dissimilar metallic material
welding using friction stir welding (FSW). Joining of dissimilar alloys and materials are …

In this study, the effects of tool rotational and traverse speeds on the mechanical properties
and the microstructure of the friction stir welded joints from Al 5086-H34 were studied …

The application of fusion welding process is restricted to certain grades of alloys and
materials. Solid-state joining process offers greater advantages over fusion welding process …

The evaluation of residual stresses (RS) induced by the friction stir welding (FSW) process is
crucial in anticipating the performance of the welded structure. The existence of such …

Plasma-assisted friction stir welding (P-FSW) is a solid state joining process that preheats
the high melting temperature material ahead of FSW tool and enhances the material flow to …

In the present study, the effect of tool rotational speed on residual stress, microstructure, and
tensile properties of friction stir welded AA 6061-T6 was investigated. AA 6061-T6 plates …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is one among solid-state welding processes that can be
employed for producing joints between dissimilar combinations with more ease than that of …
