Friction Stir Welding is a suitable solid-state joining technology to connect dissimilar
materials. To produce an effective joint, a phase of optimization is required which leads to …

Friction stir welding is a method of materials processing that enables the joining of similar
and dissimilar materials. The process, as originally designed by The Welding Institute (TWI) …

This work investigates the microstructure, mechanical characteristics, and texture evolution
of friction stir welding (FSW) of AA6061-T6 metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with …

Welding dissimilar alloys of aluminium are quite cumbersome due to their lower melting
temperatures and difficulty in welding. To resolve this, solid-state procedure friction stir …

Friction stir welding (FSW) of polymeric materials has recently attracted significant attention.
Herein, we present the effect of the tool pin profile on the FSW of high-density polyethylene …

Pin geometry is a fundamental consideration in friction stir welding (FSW). It influences the
thermal behaviour, material flow and forces during the weld and reflects on the joint quality …

Friction taper stitch welding (FTSW) is a novel technique that uses multiple inserts to conceal
surface crack in a given substrate. The inserts are rotated and forced to fill the crack as …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a promising welding process that can join age hardenable
aluminium alloys with high joint efficiency. However, the thermal cycles experienced by the …

In this work, three mathematical models for the heat generation during bobbin tool friction stir
welding (BT-FSW) of aluminum using three tool pin geometries have been proposed. The …

The present work optimizes the groove size in the friction stir welding (FSW) of 6061-T6
aluminium alloy (AA) with Al2O3 powder particle reinforcement. Here the four cases are …
