Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

The candidacy of ninth earth abundant material, titanium is supreme when it comes to the
higher strength to weight ratio, and higher corrosive resistance. Next generation of jet …

Friction-stir welding is a refreshing approach to the joining of metals. Although originally
intended for aluminium alloys, the reach of FSW has now extended to a variety of materials …

The friction stir welding (FSW) technique is widely accepted to be one of the most significant
welding techniques to emerge in the last 20 years. Friction stir welding of Al-alloys is now …

Public demand for an efficient and sustainable use of energy and resources has led to new
design criteria for technical products. An even more consequent use of light-weight …

The aircraft aluminium alloys generally present low weldability by traditional fusion welding
process. The development of the friction stir welding has provided an alternative improved …

In this work, the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded dissimilar
butt joints of 6061-to-7050 aluminum alloys were evaluated. Microstructure analysis of the …

This paper studied the microstructural and mechanical evolution of friction stir welded (FSW)
6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the influence of notch locations on impact and fatigue crack growth …

The effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of
AA6082 joints produced by friction stir welding was analysed in the present study. Different …
