The unique combination of very large strains, high temperatures and high strain rates
inherent to friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) and their dependency …

Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

The shear textures that develop in friction stir welds are reviewed and discussed. In all the
materials examined, including face centred cubic (fcc), body centred cubic (bcc) and …

Dissolution of strengthening precipitates and grain coarsening are the key factors that
dictate the mechanical properties of heat-treatable aluminium alloys. In this study, a feasible …

Billets of pure Mg were processed using two ECAP dies with internal channel angle of 90°
and 120° for 4-passes of route Bc at 225° C. Finite element analysis was used to investigate …

Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state welding process used primarily in
manufacturing of aeroengine blisks. Ti60 near-α titanium alloy was developed for blisks …

Magnesium-Zinc-Zirconium (Mg-Zn-Zr) alloys have caught considerable attention in medical
applications where biodegradability is critical. The combination of their good …

In this study, the authors used keyhole tungsten inert gas (K-TIG) welding to weld together
12-mm-thick dissimilar TC4/TA17 titanium alloy plates without grooves. The microstructural …

Aluminium-Titanium dissimilar welds are widely used in defence and aerospace industries.
Welding of Al to Ti is highly challenging due to the wide difference in thermo-mechanical …
