Considerable progress has been achieved in friction stir welding (FSW) of steels in every
aspect of tool fabrication, microstructure control and properties evaluation in the past two …

The friction stir welding (FSW) technique is widely accepted to be one of the most significant
welding techniques to emerge in the last 20 years. Friction stir welding of Al-alloys is now …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a widely used solid state joining process for soft materials such
as aluminium alloys because it avoids many of the common problems of fusion welding …

Thin sheets of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and one type of Advanced high strength steel,
transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel have been successfully butt joined using …

Friction stir welding does not involve bulk melting of the components that are joined. This
has inspired attempts to exploit it for joining materials which differ in properties, chemical …

The use of light-weight materials for industrial applications is a driving force for the
development of joining techniques. Friction stir welding (FSW) inspired joints of dissimilar …

In this study, the weldability of lower strength St 37 grade steel plate with a higher strength
steel plate (ie, St 44) using the friction stir welding technique has been studied. St 37 grade …

The level of activity in research on the friction stir welding of steels is dwarfed when
compared with that on aluminium alloys. There are good reasons for this. The relative …

In this study, microstructural and texture development in the individual weld zone during
friction stir welding (FSW) of DP780 steel at similar tool rotation speed (200 rpm) different …

Purpose: The friction stir welding (FSW) method is widely considered to be one of the most
significant developments in joining technology to emerge in the last 30 years. The technique …
