The objective of this investigation was to determine whether the fatigue strength of friction
stir (FS) welds is influenced by the welding speed, and also to compare the fatigue results …

Recently, fatigue tests have been performed to investigate the fatigue behavior of friction stir
butt-welded aluminum alloy joints. However, the joints of more than 10mm thick plates have …

Friction stir welding (FSW) of 6061 aluminium alloy butt joint was carried out at each rotation
speed of 600, 800, 1000, 1200 r/min for two different travel speeds, 80 and 100 mm/min, at a …

Strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests and microstructural evaluation were performed on a
friction stir welded 2219-T62 aluminum alloy with varying welding parameters and cooling …

Friction stir welding is becoming increasingly desirable in many applications, including tailor-
welded blanks in which two sheets of different thicknesses are joined together to form blanks …

Friction stir welding is rapidly gaining attention for a wide range of structural applications as
well as for innovations in improvement of the welding technique itself. Most of the study on …

The effects of various surface treatment techniques on the fatigue crack growth performance
of friction stir welded 2195 aluminum alloy were investigated. The objective was to reduce …

Fully reversed axial fatigue tests have been performed in order to investigate the fatigue
behaviour in the friction stir welds of 1050-O, 5083-O, 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminium …
