Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is considered to be the most significant development in
metal joining in last two decades. FSW has many advantages when welding magnesium or …

Friction-based welding processes are considered as very efficient solid-state metal joining
processes due to soundness of the welded joint with remarkably less energy consumption …

Friction stir welding is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which is widely adopted
in different industry fields to join different metallic alloys that are hard to weld by …

Friction stir welding (FSW) exhibit high rate of plastic deformation thereby microstructure
modification through intense coarsening and grain boundary precipitation found in the weld …

Understanding the influence of tool/pin shapes on the thermal and material flow behaviors in
friction stir welding is of great significance for the optimal design of tool/pin based on a …

Polymer composites have certain advantages over metals in terms of mechanical as well as
metallurgical properties. These can be joined with similar as well as dissimilar polymer …

An analysis of the evolution of the torque and of the temperature with welding conditions, in
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of aluminium alloys, was conducted. More precisely, torque and …

A three-dimensional transient computational fluid dynamics model is developed to analyze
the influence of rotational/non-rotational shoulder and pin characteristics on the thermal and …

Although friction stir welding (FSW) is now widely used for the welding of aluminum and
other soft alloys, premature tool failure limits its application to hard alloys such as steels and …

The aim of this work is to study the influence of the shoulder geometry on friction stir welding
of 1mm-thick copper-DHP plates. The welds were produced using three different shoulder …
