The unique combination of very large strains, high temperatures and high strain rates
inherent to friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) and their dependency …

The present study deals with laser beam welding (LBW) and friction stir welding (FSW)
applied to high-strength aluminum alloys used in aircraft industry and displays their …

Precipitate evolution in an AA5024 Al-based alloy containing Sc and Zr is investigated in
different states: as-cast, extruded and severely deformed. An overview of the microstructure …

Microstructure and its thermal stability are critical in the development of high-performance Al–
Mg alloys. Here, we attempt to tailor Al 3 (Sc, Zr) precipitates and thus microstructure …

Samples with one through three passes with 100% overlap were created using friction stir
processing (FSP) in order to locally modify the microstructure and mechanical properties of a …

For conventional work-hardened Al-Mg alloys, Friction-Stir Welding (FSW) can soften the as-
welded joint, and increase the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion (IGC). This study …

A review of the state of research in the field of friction stir welding and processing has been
carried out. The features of plastic flow in friction stir welding and their connection with the …

In the present work, the attempt to weld coarse (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al-Mg-Si
alloy using an electron beam welding technique has been taken. Welding parameters were …

In this paper, the effects of two severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods, ECAP and FSP,
on the microstructure evolution and tensile strength of an Al–6Mg–0.4 Mn–0.25 Sc–0.1 Zr …

Abstract Al-5.8 Mg-0.4 Mn with minor alloying additions of Sc and Zr was investigated via
electrochemical testing and nitric acid mass loss testing (NAMLT) in order to reveal the …
