Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is the most promising solid-state metals joining method
introduced in this era. Compared to the conventional fusion welding methods, this FSW can …

This paper intends to provide a perspective on the current development of the friction stir
welding (FSW) technology. The industrialisation of the technology and related research …

This paper covers a detailed study of friction stir–related processes with the focus on joining
dissimilar materials. First, the effects of the process parameters and tool geometries on weld …

Joining of high strength Al alloy (AA7099) to steel (rolled homogeneous armor) with and
without AA6061 interlayer was achieved using a friction stir dovetailing (FSD) method …

Friction stir welding is a pioneering new technique for solid-state joining of Aluminium alloys,
which also further strengthens the mechanical and microstructural properties of the base …

A series of Friction Stir Extrusion welds with varying groove geometries were performed to
determine the effect on processing forces. A clear correlation with groove geometry was …

The dissimilar metal welding joint is connected by the metallurgical bond of intermetallic
compounds at the interface, which easily causes stress concentration at the interface and …

Emerging manufacturing patterns such as lightweighting, improved efficiency and flexibility
have increased the use of multimaterial components and therefore suggesting the need for …

Friction stir dovetailing (FSD) was used to join 0.5 in.(12.7 mm) AA7099 to 0.5 in.(12.7 mm)
Ni-Cr-Mo steel in a lap configuration. Two new FSD approaches are reported that …
