...Navneet Khanna; Mahesh Bharati; Prachi Sharma; Vishvesh J. Badheka Purpose The demand for aluminium alloys has been increasing in almost all the fields. In this study, the friction stir welding (FSW) of similar aluminium alloy AA 8011-h14 has been presented using three levels of tool rotational...

...M. Grujicic; R Yavari; S. Ramaswami; J Snipes; R Galgalikar Purpose – Friction stir welding (FSW) butt-joining involving the use of a dissimilar filler metal insert between the retreating and advancing portions of the workpiece is investigated computationally using a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian...

...M. Selvaraj; Vela Murali; S.R. Koteswara Rao Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a three‐dimensional thermal model for friction stir welding of AISI 1018 mild steel to predict the thermal cycle, temperature distribution, the effect of welding parameters on power required, heat...

...P. Cavaliere; G.L. Rossi; Di Sante; M. Moretti In this study, the effect of Friction Stir Welding on a 6061 aluminium alloy reinforced with 20% of alumina particles metal matrix composite was analysed. The sheets were joined by employing a tool rotating speed of 700 RPM and a welding speed of 250...

...P. Cavaliere The aim of the present paper was the study of mechanical and microstructural behaviour of 6061/Al2O3/20p metal matrix composite sheets joined by Friction Stir Welding. The material was welded into the form of sheets of 7 mm thickness after T6 treatment and was tested in tension...
