Friction stir welding (FSW) is becoming an essential welding technique in the aerospace
industry. However, friction stir welds are usually weaker than the parent material. The …

This work presents the mechanical properties and elaborately discusses microstructural
aspects of LSPwC (laser shock peening without coating) peened 7075-T6 aluminum alloy …

This report describes the effect of the ball-burnishing process on the mechanical properties
of 2050 aluminium alloy that was previously friction stir welded. This process is a fast …

Fusion welding of age-hardenable high strength aluminum (Al) alloys can be challenging
due to the propensity of these alloys to develop solidification-related issues such as porosity …

The microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 7055 aluminium alloy
under air cooling and water cooling were investigated by means of hardness and tensile …

The current study performs an explicit nonlinear finite element simulation to predict
temperature distribution and consequent stresses during the friction stir welding (FSW) of AA …

Light weighting of automobiles would improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Newly
developed high-strength, high-elongation (Al-Zn-Mg)-Fe alloys for structural shape casting …

In the present work, DH36 steel and AISI 1008 steel sheets were joined using friction stir
welding (FSW) process to investigate the influence of the rotational speed, traverse speed …

Comparable microstructures and mechanical properties are obtained for the different
AA2139-T8/AA7020-T651 joints welded in the range 600–1000 rev. min− 1/250–550 mm …

The friction stir welding (FSW) process is a unique combination of deformation and high
temperature, which provides opportunities to modify microstructures through the adjustment …
