Abstract:Extended AbstractFriction stir welding (FSW) is a new solid-state joining technique that was developed in 1991 by The Welding Institute (TWI) of UK. In particular, this process is utilized for welding high-strength metallic materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium, copper and metal matrix composites (MMCs) that are hard to weld by traditional welding methods. In FSW process, the frictional heating is generated between the non-consumable tool and the workpiece. As a result of the heating, the workpiece unde… Show more
