The softening phenomenon of age-hardening aluminum alloy-welded joints is severe during
conventional fusion welding, which increases the likelihood of stress and strain …

This research work aims to develop the friction stir welding (FSW) technique to resolve the
solidification issues when joining the AA2050-T8. The identification of the right process …

This study investigates the effect of tool pin eccentricity and welding speed on the grain
structure, crystallographic texture, and mechanical properties of friction stir welded (FSWed) …

Abstract The joined Al-Cu-Li alloys using friction stir welding (FSW) has been widely used in
main structural areas of transport aircraft like fuselage, wings, empennage, window and …

Friction stir welding (FSW) has played a significant role in joining aerospace alloys. During
this process, the tool rotational (TRS) speed has been found to significantly affect heat …

Aluminium (Al) and copper (Cu) are widely employed in the industry due to their significant
corrosion resistance and electrical conductive properties. The simultaneous requirement of …

The latest generation of Aluminum–Lithium alloy (Al–Li) is majorly used in aerospace
industries due to its low density and high strength. Friction stir welding is a preferred joining …

Fiction stir welding (FSW) of a naturally aged (T4) 2195 Al-Li alloy was conducted to study
the effect of post-weld artificial aging (AA) and rolling+ artificial aging (R+ AA) on …

In this paper, different tool pin profiles, namely taper-threaded, triangular, and hybrid are
used to join 5-mm-thick 2050-T84 Al-Cu-Li alloy by friction-stir-welding. The experiments …
