TL;DR: A coupled theoretical and experimental study was undertaken to examine the impact of plate thickness, alloy strength and processing conditions on the susceptibility of tool failure in friction stir welding of AA7075 and AA7039 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed experimental study on friction stir welding of a specific Al-Zn-Mg alloy with its chemical compositions close to AA7039 was performed. And the effect of tool rotational speed and welding speed on the weld profile, joint microstructure, and mechanical properties was extensively.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how shielded metal arc welding consumables affect the dynamic fracture toughness (J1d) of armor-grade quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt was made to explore alternate consumables for welding quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels, which are prone to hydrogen induced cracking after welding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of particle size on damping capacity of AA6061 processed through friction stir processing was investigated, and it was found that the plastic zone radius around the SiC particle increased with the particle size, and the contribution of plastic zone was significant than the dislocation density for damping below 125°C.
