Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which
was invented to compete with resistance spot welding (RSW) and riveting of lightweight …

In this work, a novel solid-phase processing; namely, shear assisted processing and
extrusion (ShAPE) was used to modify the microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy, which …

Friction stir spot welding was applied to dissimilar cast magnesium (Mg) alloy AM60B and
wrought aluminum (Al) alloy 6022-T4 under various welding conditions. The influence of tool …

Thermal-vibratory technique has been demonstrated to effectively and rapidly reduce
residual stress and improve mechanical properties of materials. But the underlying residual …

This work examines the grain refinement and mechanical properties of additive friction stir
layer welding (AFSLW) of a Mg Alloy. The AFSLW process was used to additively fabricate a …

The microstructure and lap-shear behaviors of friction stir linear welded wrought Al alloy
AA6022-T4 to cast Mg alloy AM60B joints were examined. A process window was …

A systematic study of residual stress relaxation and the texture evolution of cold-rolled AZ31
Mg alloys using the vibratory stress relief technique with a simple cantilever beam vibration …

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has been proven to be a unique and substantial
development in welding technology for the last two decades. In recent times, the research …

In recent years, the increasing application demand for Mg alloys in automobile, rail transport,
