Dynamic recrystallization (DRX), a resultant of severe plastic deformation occurring at
moderately high temperatures, plays a pivotal role in deciding the structural integrity of the …

Aluminium alloys of the 5xxx and 6xxx types are considered marine grade alloys. These
alloys are highly resistant to corrosive environments and are therefore used in maritime …

To understand the multiple effects of forced cooling on the joint quality in coolant-assisted
friction stir welding and the underlying mechanism, commercial pure aluminum AA1050 was …

To achieve high-strength joints of 2195 Al–Li alloy, a novel splat cooling assisted friction stir
welding (SCaFSW) was proposed. The microstructures and mechanical properties of …

Abstract Treatment of Al-Cu-Mg alloy was performed by friction stir spot processing (FSSP).
Parametric analysis on the microstructure modification by employing tool rotation speed (ω) …

The effect of FSP process parameters such as mechanical, microstructural and wear
behaviour on A7075/WC surface composites was examined. In the present investigation, 15 …

In this work, the AZ31 Mg alloy was subjected to friction stir processing (FSP) by adding CuO
and ZrO 2 particles. The main aim of this study was to increase the tribological and …

In this work, a 3D FE model was developed to perform numerical simulations for the
prediction of temperature variations during dissimilar joining of AA5083 and AZ31 through …

The demands for high specific strength materials in the automotive industries have inspired
the utility of multi-functional body parts to reduce fuel consumption. This has inevitably been …

This article investigates the flow of materials and weld formation during underwater friction
stir welding (UFSW) of low carbon steel. A thermo-mechanical model is used to understand …
