Striving for lighter and more efficient vehicles, the automotive industry is currently seeking to
replace traditional materials like steel with lighter ones such as aluminum alloys. Among the …

This research aims to study the fracture behaviour in dissimilar aluminum alloys adjoined by
friction stir welding (FSW). In this way, experimental data dealing with this topic was taken …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is widely used in the aerospace structure. The FSWed joints are
often exposed to dynamic loads during their service applications. So, it is important to study …

In this research, fracture of dissimilar friction stir welded (FSWed) joint made of Al 7075‐T6
and Al 6061‐T6 aluminum alloys is investigated in the cracked semi‐circular bend (CSCB) …

Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formation during friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar
metals such as aluminum (Al) and steel (St) is known to cause a reduction in the joint …

The extent of inter-material mixing and the formation of intermetallic compounds play a
critical role in the structural integrity and mechanical properties of the joints in the case of …

The fracture toughness in a friction stir welded joint of thick plates of structural aluminium
alloy type A5083-O is investigated. A joint between two 25 mm thick plates is fabricated by …

Dissimilar joints generally involve the formation of a non-uniform interfacial reaction layer,
which affects the joint strength significantly. However, a clear understanding of the effect of …

Material movement during friction stir welding plays a significant role towards joint formation.
However, there is little clarity on periodic or continuous nature of material movement. The …

The main friction stir welding parameters include the rotation speed (ω) and the welding
speed (v). 2198 T8 welded samples were designed to investigate effects of the ratio ω/v on …
