This article provides an introduction to the basic principles of friction stir welding (FSW) as
well as a survey of the latest research and applications in the field. The basic principles …

The goal of this work is to develop a method for detecting the creation of discontinuities
during friction stir welding. This in situ weld monitoring method could significantly reduce the …

The objective of this work is to develop a method for detecting the creation of discontinuities
(ie, voids, volume defects) during friction stir welding. Friction stir welding is inherently cost …

The friction stir welding (FSW) process is known as a solid-state welding process,
comparatively stable against external influences. Therefore, the process is commonly used …
