The present study aims to enhance the strength of friction stir lap welded aluminum alloys by
using an interlayer of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) at the weld interface. With GNP …

This study demonstrates the potential of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) for producing
highly aligned graphene configurations in copper-aluminum joints, resulting in improved …

Dissimilar materials lap joining of aluminum alloy to galvanized steel sheets was
investigated with refilled friction stir spot welding (Refilled FSSW). For the lap joint between …

In this study, the synergistic effects of a hybrid surface treatment involving hydrochloric acid
(HCl) immersion and silanization on friction stir spot welding (FSSW) of aluminum and …

The primary disadvantage of friction stir spot welding is the keyhole reminds after the
welding process which removing of this keyhole is considered in this study. In addition …

Dissimilar metals are pretty challenging to attain enhanced mechanical properties in the
conventional friction stir spot welding (FSSW) process. In this research, a new filler added …

Abstract Heat-treatable AA6061-T6 weldability leads to a decline in the physio-mechanical
and tribological properties due to strengthening precipitates dissolution in the nugget zone …

Prior to friction stir welding (FSW), silicon carbide (SiC) nanopowders were placed inside the
groove on the adjacent side of magnesium sheet. In order to make a good distribution of …
