Friction-stir techniques are the potential alternative to fusion-based systems for processing
and welding metallic alloys and other materials. This review explores the advantages …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which
was invented to compete with resistance spot welding (RSW) and riveting of lightweight …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a very useful variant of the conventional friction stir
welding (FSW), which shows great potential to be a replacement of single‐point joining …

To develop a suitable keyhole closure process in high-strength AlZnMg (Cu) alloys, refill
friction stir spot welding was used to perform repair welds of through holes of 7.5 mm …

Aluminum alloy and steel hybrid structures offer clear advantages in weight reduction and
energy conservation for the automotive industry. This paper exhibits sound refilled friction …

Friction spot welding (FSpW) is a relatively new solid state joining technology developed by
GKSS. In the present study, FSpW was applied to join the 6061-T4 aluminum alloy sheet …

In this work, refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) was used to weld 2 mm-thick 5083-O
alloy. The Box–Behnken experimental design was used to investigate the effect of welding …

A series of welds were produced at various processing parameters in friction spot welded of
AA6061-T6 to investigate hook formation and mechanical properties. Two different types of …

Dissimilar materials lap joining of aluminum alloy to galvanized steel sheets was
investigated with refilled friction stir spot welding (Refilled FSSW). For the lap joint between …

Friction stir spot welding has important applications in the joining of thin metallic plates.
However, the asymmetric thermomechanical action inherent in the single-sided friction stir …
