The solid-state welding technology known as friction stir welding (FSW) is slowly replacing
melting-based welding technologies. Friction stir welds functionality relies on the suitable …

Friction-based welding processes are considered as very efficient solid-state metal joining
processes due to soundness of the welded joint with remarkably less energy consumption …

The relatively new welding process friction stir welding (FSW) was applied in this research
work to join 6mm thick dissimilar aluminum alloys AA5083-H111 and AA6351-T6. The effect …

The weld strength of thermoplastics, such as high density polyethylene and polyprophylene
sheets are influenced by friction stir welding parameters. The determination of the welding …

In present work friction stir welds produced in 1mm thick plates of AA 6016-T4 aluminium
alloy, with two different tools, were analysed and compared concerning the microstructure …

Meanwhile the thermo-mechanical conditions during Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of metals
have already been subject of extensive analysis and thoroughly discussed in literature, in …

This review reports on the influencing parameters on the joining parts quality of tools and
techniques applied for conducting process analysis and optimizing the friction stir welding …

In friction stir welding (FSW), the real contact conditions between the tool and the workpiece
and the range of strain rates experienced remain quite unclear. In this work, a coupled 3D …

In this paper a simple procedure for the characterization of the constitutive behaviour of
welds is presented. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is used for accessing local strain fields in …

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of main friction stir welding (FSW) parameters
on the quality of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plate welds. Welds were carried out in …
