Al/steel dissimilar welds were obtained by friction stir lap welding (FSLW) with an Al
interlayer, which was fabricated by friction surfacing (FS). In present study, the tool pin was …

The friction stir welding tool with convex pin tip was designed to realize the lap joining of
6082-T6 aluminum alloy and Q235A steel. With decreasing welding speed and increasing …

In this work, the effects of the annealing temperature and duration on the joint strength of the
steel/aluminum lap joints made by friction stir welding were investigated. The strength of the …

The rate of heat generation and plastic deformation of materials should be precisely
controlled in order to get a strong and sound weld joint during dissimilar friction stir lap …

Defect-free dissimilar Al/zinc coated steel and Al/AlSi coated steel welds were successfully
fabricated by refill friction stir spot welding. However, Al alloy and uncoated steel could not …

A novel welding tool, characterized by the enlarged pin design was developed to solve the
hook feature or insufficient interface deformation for Al/steel friction stir lap welded joints …

The 6061-T6 Al alloy and mild steel plate with a thickness of 1mm were successfully welded
by the flat spot friction stir welding technique, which contains two steps during the entire …

In this study, lap welds between Al5754 to DP600 steel (aluminum plate top, and steel plate
bottom) were manufactured by friction stir welding (FSW). The effects of welding parameters …

Friction stir lap welding (FSLW) experiments have been conducted to study the effects of tool
positioning on microstructures formed in the Al-to-steel interface region and on joint strength …

The AA6061 alloy and Q235 steel were well joined by refilled friction stir spot welding
without stirring steel, as a 1 mm thick coating was deposited on the steel by friction surfacing …
