Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process patented in 1991 by
TWI; initially adopted to weld aluminum alloys, it is now being successfully used also for high …

In the present study, AA6061-T4 T-joints were successfully fabricated by friction stir welding
(FSW) in three different combination ways of skins and stringers. Distributions and formation …

In this paper, the weldability of AA 5083-H111 (non-heat treatable) and AA 6082-T6 (heat
treatable) aluminium alloys, which are widely used in welding fabrication, is compared by …

Ever since its inception, friction stir welding 1 (FSW) is being validated by scientific
investigations as an effective substitution for fusion-based conventional joining …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a highly reliable joining process. However, there is still lack of
optimized FSW parameters for different joint configurations. The present manuscript …

This paper shows the potential of stationary shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) for
producing higher quality T-section joints relative to a conventional friction stir welding (FSW) …
