The asymmetric material flow, severe plastic deformation and thermal cycle imposed on the
base material during friction stir welding (FSW) result in unique microstructural development …

Abstract In this paper, 6013-T4 T-joints were successfully fabricated with different welding
parameters by friction stir welding in two different combination modes of skins and stringers …

The effect of post-weld heat treatment on dissimilar friction stir welded AA7075 and AA2024
joints was studied. After welding in constant parameters, solution heat treatment and various …
