The unique combination of very large strains, high temperatures and high strain rates
inherent to friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) and their dependency …

The main drawback of friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar metals is the formation of
intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which are brittle and affect the strength of the joint. The …

The present paper is focused on friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar aluminum alloys and
steels, an area that is getting great concern recently. The promise of FSW joints lies in low …

This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of
joining technologies called solid-state (SS) welding, as compared to more conventional …

The friction stir lap welding (FSLW) was employed to join the dissimilar 5052 Al alloy and
DP590 steel. The intermetallic compound (IMC) formation area and thickness increased …

This article showcases details on enumerative information of dissimilar aluminum (Al) to
steel welds manufactured using different friction-based welding processes with an emphasis …

This experimental investigation describes the effect of tilt angle and rotational speed on the
characteristics of welding defects, intermetallic compounds, weld strength and micro …

Friction stir welding exploits its solid state process behaviour to join aluminum to steel, which
differs in thermal and mechanical properties, and where combination of these metallic alloys …

In order to meet the demand for lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles, a significant attempt
is currently being focused toward the substitution of aluminum for steel in the car body …

A new solid-phase technique called friction stir dovetailing (FSD) has been developed for
joining thick section aluminum to steel. In FSD, mechanical interlocks are formed at the …
