The main drawback of friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar metals is the formation of
intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which are brittle and affect the strength of the joint. The …

The bonding of dissimilar materials can make the joint possess the select performances of
two materials. Suitable brazing/soldering methods can be adopted for different materials and …

In this study, arc and friction stir hybrid welding (AFSHW) was proposed to weld aluminum-
steel dissimilar metals in attempt to realize high quality joining. Firstly, an interlayer was …

Cooling assisted friction stir welding (CFSW) suppresses formation of intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) and improves tensile strength of the dissimilar joints. The present …

The formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) is an inevitable phenomenon during
friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar metals. Majority of approaches that have ever been …

Abstract Steel (St) and aluminum (Al) have a high affinity to each other and form intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) when bonded by friction stir welding (FSW). Understanding the effect of …

This study executed the volume of fluid (VOF) based multiphase computational fluid

Joining of aluminum alloys through friction stir welding (FSW) is effectively employed in
several industries (eg, aeronautics and aerospace) since it guarantees proper weld strength …

Friction welding is a method of joining two materials in solid-state that have a good bonding
connection. The materials are eventually joined by continuous acts of forging pressure …

Exit-holes in friction stir welded dissimilar aluminum-copper (Al–Cu) joints are repaired by
using probeless tools, forcing the surrounding material to fill the exit-hole cavity. The repair …
