Abstract:Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state joining process that provides many advantages such as microstructure and mechanicalproperties than conventional methods in welding aluminum alloys. When compared with conventional fusion welding methods it gives advantages such as lower residual stresses, especially high joint strength and low distortion because of lower welding temperature and also elimination of porosities and solidification cracking because of no melting occurrence.The FSW process exhibits a numb… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
