in this study, friction stir spot welding (fssw) is applied to join the tial6v4 titanium alloy with 1.5 mm thickness and then the effect of rotational speed and tool dwell time on microstructure and mechanical properties is investigated. in this regard, the speed of the tool rotation was considered as 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm, as well as the tool dwell time was set at 7 and 12s. microstructural ...

in this paper, hardness and tensile properties of welded zone of aluminum 1100 alloys by friction stir welding process was investigated and the effects of rotational and traverse speeds of tool on these parameters was studied. also the fracture cross-section of welded samples was investigated. according the results of this paper, the hardness of weld material is higher than base material and is...

Friction stir welding is used as a solid state joining process for soft materials such as aluminium alloys and also for hard materials like steels. It avoids many of the common problems obtained in fusion welding. In mechanical, civil, automobile, naval, and aeronautical engineering beams are widely used of the magnesium alloys for different applications and that are joined by conventional iner...

This paper describes a technique for determining the position of the friction stir welding (FSW) tool with respect to the weld seam during welding. This technique is proposed for online misalignment detection or as a position estimator for in-process tracking of the weld seam for FSW.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process, which is used for the welding of aluminum alloys. It is important to note that the mechanical properties of the FSW process depends on various process parameters, such as spindle speed, feed rate and shoulder depth. Two different tool materials, such as High speed steel (HSS) and H13 are considered for the welding of Al 7075. The pre...
