Friction stir welding (FSW) is now widely used in industrial manufacturing fields to join metal
materials. Although it avoids solidification cracking, the combination of thermal excursion …

Material flow during welding is an important factor that affects the quality of friction stir
welding (FSW) joints. In this study, a new welding tool/work piece contact model is proposed …

The fatigue crack growth behavior of friction stir welded joints of AZ31 Mg alloy is
investigated for three different notch locations. The extended finite element method based …

Friction stir welding (FSW) was employed to join 10 mm thick AA2024-T6 aluminium alloy
plates to overcome the fusion welding related problems such as grain coarsening in fusion …

The concept of Industry 4.0 is defined as a common term for technology and the concept of
new digital tools to optimize the manufacturing process. Within this framework of modular …

In the present study, the effect of tool rotational speed on residual stress, microstructure, and
tensile properties of friction stir welded AA 6061-T6 was investigated. AA 6061-T6 plates …

In this work a realistic thermo-mechanical fatigue application, related to a fracture process
simulation in a turbine vane, is implemented to highlight the advantages, in terms of …

Two cracks, initiated from the opposite tips of a 45° inclined central notch, were considered
in cruciform specimens made of Ti6246. A static load was applied along one arm of the …

Abstract 2519A aluminum alloy thick plate is a promising structural material in the military
industries, owing to its low density, high tensile strength and excellent ballistic performance …

For control of real-time Internet of Things (IoT)-based remote welding process, continuous
detection of defects occurring in the weld sample is of utmost importance so that welding …
