Special Issue: Advance in Friction Stir Processed Materials

Abstract

In recent years, on the basis of FSP/FSW technologies, a number of new solutions, methods and variants have been developed, constituting not only proof of the continuous evolution of FSP/FSW technologies, but also of the huge scientific and application potential hidden in these methods [...]

Underwater Processing of Materials

“…Technological processes carried out in the water environment include the production and processing of engineering materials and giving them specific properties [ 1 , 2 ]. A large number of complex processes must be carried out underwater out of necessity, for example, when there is no technical possibility to lift the structural elements above the water surface, or this is economically unjustified [ 3 , 4 ].…”
