In the last decade, the friction stir welding of polymers has been increasingly investigated by
the means of more and more sophisticated approaches. Since the early studies, which were …

The objective of current work is to analyse the influence of different welding techniques and
welding parameters on the morphology and mechanical strength of friction stir welds (FSW) …

There are many possible reasons for low weld strength in FSW of thermoplastic; low thermal
conductivity, high energy losses in friction stir welding (FSW), material spill-out, involvement …

In underwater friction stir welding (UFSW), the thermal conditions between the tool and the
plasticized polymeric materials and the relation between glass transition temperatures …

Friction stir welding (FSW) of thermoplastic materials is an attractive but a challenging
process due to inherent chemical and mechanical characteristics of polymeric materials. In …

Friction stir welding tool tilt angle (TTA) is a vital parameter that influences the final joint
quality. The underlying mechanism of TTA in T configuration joints has not been fully …

In this study, dissimilar sheets including AA3003 aluminum and A441 AISI steel were
welded via cooling-assisted friction stir welding (FSW). Three different cooling mediums …

The transportation industry has played a crucial role in advancing human society, but it has
also raised concerns about carbon emissions and environmental pollution. As a result …

Research on T-configuration aluminum constructions effectively decreases fuel
consumption, increases strength, and develops aerial structures. In this research, the effects …

The present work aims to assess the best friction stir welding (FSW) parameter for HDPE
sheet weld joints. In this context, tool rotational speed, tool transverse speed, and tool tilt …
