...Raghuraj Panwar; Pankaj Chandna Purpose This paper aims to accomplish friction stir welding (FSW) of Al–Li alloy AA8090 to determine optimal settings of the process parameters for higher tensile strength and higher micro-hardness (MH) to achieve the objective of adequate butt-joint strength...

...Raghuraj Panwar; Pankaj Chandna Purpose This paper aims to predict the performance of friction stir welded AA8090 joint. Design/methodology/approach In the present study, Al-Li AA8090 plates are butt joined using friction stir welding (FSW). The experiments are designed and optimized using...

...Rafał Burek; Dawid Wydrzyński; Andrzej Kubit; Waldemar Łogin Purpose This paper aims to experimentally determine the influence of the tool shoulder depth value on the structural and strength properties of the single lap joints made of 7075-T6 aluminium alloy made with friction stir welding (FSW...

.... This process has limitations such as porosity, alloy segregation and hot cracking. To overcome the above limitations, an alternative technology is required. One such technology is friction stir welding (FSW), which can be successfully applied for welding of aluminium alloy in LCA structures. Therefore...

... of fatigue test results for mechanically fastened joints and friction stir welding joints will show the advantages of the latter. Practical Implications With the information presented, the authors expect to provide some guidelines that will help to improve future joint designs. Originality/value...
