Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which
was invented to compete with resistance spot welding (RSW) and riveting of lightweight …

The current work presents a detailed investigation for the effect of a wide range friction stir
welding (FSW) parameters on the dissimilar joints' quality of aluminum alloys. Two groups of …

Aircraft skin and stringer elements are typically fabricated from 2xxx and 7xxx series high
strength aluminum alloys. A single friction stir welding (FSW) pass using a specially …

Abstract The high Mn steel (Mn≥ 20 wt.%) is widely applied because of excellent cryogenic
properties. In the fusion-welded high-Mn steel joint, the Mn vapor and segregation degrade …

This work investigated the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) tool rotation rate and welding
speed on the grain structure evolution in the nugget zone through the thickness of the 10 …

In the current work, mild steel used in shipbuilding applications was friction-stir-welded
(FSWed) with the aim of investigating the microstructure and mechanical properties of the …

The effect of tool geometries on the microstructure and crystallographic texture of 32-mm-
thick friction stir-welded AA6082 has been investigated. The use of a tapered probe tool …

Joining dissimilar sheet thicknesses of AA6082-T6 alloys by friction stir spot welding (FSSW)
provides many advantages in automotive and aerospace applications. The formed keyhole …

The current research designed a statistical model for the bobbin tool friction stir processing
(BT-FSP) of AA1050 aluminum alloy using the Response Surface Method (RSM). The …

The aim of this work is to produce a surface composite by incorporating B 4 C particles on
the surface of AA7075 alloy through friction stir processing (FSP) using both a pinless and a …
