The structural integrity of multi-component structures is usually determined by the strength
and durability of their unions. Adhesive bonding is often chosen over welding, riveting and …

Recent papers on the fatigue design of aluminum welds have highlighted a lack of guidance
on the assessment of structures containing joints made by friction stir welding (FSW). With …

H111 and 6082-T651 aluminum alloys used particularly in shipbuilding industry especially
for the sake of their high corrosion resistance and moderate strength, were welded using …

There is a need for improved understanding on the effects of friction stir welding (FSW) on
the metallurgical and mechanical properties of aluminium matrix composite (AMC). In this …

Adhesive bonding of components has become more efficient in recent years due to the
developments in adhesive technology, which has resulted in higher peel and shear …

High strength aluminum alloys are widely used in aircraft and marine industries. Generally,
the mechanical properties of fusion welded aluminum joints are poor. As friction stir welding …

Abstract In this study, 5083-H111 and 6082-T651 aluminum alloy plates in 6 mm thickness
that are used particularly for shipbuilding industry were welded using Friction Stir Welding …

A nonlinear model is proposed in light of the theory of isodamage curves, to assess the
cumulative fatigue damage under multistage loading. The isodamage curves were …

In this study, effect of post weld heat-treatment (PWHT) at two different aged temperatures
was investigated on the microstructure and the material properties of the aluminum alloy …

Material stirring and heat generation in friction stir welding processes induce significant
microstructure and material properties alterations. Previous studies highlighted the …
