The fatigue properties of gas metal arc welded and friction stir welded assemblies made of
aluminum alloy AA6061-T6 structural extrusions were examined. The mechanical …

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests, uniaxial symmetrical (R=− 1) push-pull, were performed on the
friction stir welded dissimilar 2024-to-7075 aluminum alloy joints at various strain …

The fatigue strength and failure mechanisms of defect-free (“sound”) and flaw bearing
friction stir butt-welds of 3.1 mm-thick AA2198-T8 Al–Li–Cu alloy have been investigated via …

In the present work, FSW of 2024-T351 Al alloy is characterised in terms of weld residual
stress and cyclic properties. A fatigue endurance of the FSW joint was also investigated and …

This paper describes fatigue tests performed on 6061-T651 and 5083-H321 aluminum
friction stir welded joints with dimensions and loading conditions typical for structural …

A comprehensive study of fatigue life and damage mechanisms of friction stir linear welded
dissimilar aluminum-to-magnesium alloys in lap-shear configuration is presented. The …

In this work, experiments were conducted to quantify structure-property relations of low-cycle
fatigue behavior of dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of AA6061-to-AA7050 high strength …

The retrieval of the weld tool at the end of the friction stir welding process leaves behind a
distinctive physical feature in the welded material which is commonly referred to as the exit …

The S–N curves at very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime for the base material and the
friction stir welding (FSW) joint of 7050 aluminum alloy present multi-stage shapes with an …

The increasing use of aluminium alloys in transportation industry, not only in aeronautics but
also in automotive industry, creates the need for research on more efficient and reliable …
