The aim of the present work is to optimise the welding parameters for friction stir spot welded
non-heat-treatable AA3003-H12 aluminium alloy sheets using a Taguchi orthogonal array …

Nowadays, friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is becoming a serious candidate technology to
join aircraft materials such as AA2024-O and AA6061-T6 since the use of FSSW offers …

Hook defect (HD) seriously decreases the mechanical properties of friction stir spot welded
(FSSW) joints. In this study, two methods were therefore used to eliminate the HD in pinless …

Friction spot welding (FSpW) is a relatively new solid state joining technology developed by
GKSS. In the present study, FSpW was applied to join the 6061-T4 aluminum alloy sheet …

Nowadays, friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is used in automotive, rail vehicle construction,
the aerospace industry, and electrical industry. In the current research, a modified version of …

With the addition of a thin Zn interlayer, 2.4 mm thick Mg‒3Al‒1Zn alloy sheets were friction
stir spot welded (FSSW) using a pinless tool with flat, convex and concave shoulder shapes …

The influences of the pin geometry and rotational speed on the microstructure evolution and
mechanical properties of the AA 5052-H112 FSSW joint were investigated. Results showed …
