“…As a solid-state processing technology, friction stir welding (FSW) is a possible solution for these problems arisen in fusion welding of DSS. In recent years, a number of efforts focusing on FSW of DSS have been reported, such as lean DSS [9,10], 2205 DSS [4,[11][12][13], SAF 2507 [14,15], SAF 2707 [16,17], etc. Due to the solid-state nature of FSW, the heat input during FSW is significantly lower than that of fusion welding.…”
