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 …

The friction stir welding (FSW) technique is widely accepted to be one of the most significant
welding techniques to emerge in the last 20 years. Friction stir welding of Al-alloys is now …

For different tool plunge downforces, the optimum FSW conditions of aluminum die casting
alloy were examined. The higher the tool plunge downforce is, the wider the range of the …

Aluminum reinforced with a large amount (up to∼ 50vol.%) of nanometer-sized Al3Ti
particles can be fabricated from Al–Ti elemental powder mixtures via friction stir processing …

The effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of
AA6082 joints produced by friction stir welding was analysed in the present study. Different …

In this study, friction stir processing (FSP) was utilized to incorporate SiC and MoS2 particles
into the matrix of an A356 Al alloy to form surface hybrid composite. A constant tool rotation …

The aim of the present work is to investigate on the mechanical and microstructural
properties of dissimilar 2024 and 7075 aluminium sheets joined by friction stir welding …

In friction stir welding (FSW), the welding tool geometry plays a fundamental role in
obtaining desirable microstructures in the weld and the heat-affected zones, and …

The heat treatable aluminum–copper alloy AA2014 finds wide application in the aerospace
and defence industry due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and good ductility. Friction stir …

Surfaces of A319 and A356 castings were treated by friction stir processing to reduce
porosity and to create more uniform distributions of second-phase particles. Dendritic …
