Friction-based welding processes are considered as very efficient solid-state metal joining
processes due to soundness of the welded joint with remarkably less energy consumption …

This paper intends to provide a perspective on the current development of the friction stir
welding (FSW) technology. The industrialisation of the technology and related research …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state weld process that broadly used by industries and
preferred rather than other weld process due to its capability to weld similar and dissimilar …

5 mm thick AA 7075-T6 ultrathin sheets were butt jointed by conventional friction stir welding
(C-FSW) and high speed friction stir welding (HS-FSW) under a constant rotational speed …

Dissimilar micro-friction stir welding (dissimilar μFSW) can be a preferred choice for joining
dissimilar materials having thickness≤ 1000 μm. The technique's potential applications are …

Micro friction stir welding (μFSW) was successfully performed to join the ultra-thin 6061-T4
sheet with the thickness of 0.5 mm. The optimum plunging depth of 0.05 mm was obtained …

The friction welding, friction stir welding and the friction stir processing are solid-state
manufacturing processes that have great potentials for the manufacturing industries. The …

In friction stir welding (FSW) the material is welded without melting the base material.
Aerospace, automobile, shipbuilding and electronics are some of the industrial sectors …

Selection of appropriate welding parameters in micro-friction stir welding (micro-FSW) is
challenging and a practical problem. In this regard, an assessment of variation in the …

A simple mechanical fixture is proposed to overcome the fixturing issues present in joining of
thin sheets. The fixture is similar to a lever type clamp and unlike some common FSW …
