Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and metallurgical characterization of friction stir welding joints of AA6061-T6 with AA6082-T6
Pedro M.G.P. Moreira,Telmo G. Santos,Sérgio M. O. Tavares,Valentin Richter-Trummer,Pedro Vilaça,P.M.S.T. de Castro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate finite element model of the joint, taking into account the spatial dependence of the tensile strength properties, was made, modelling a bending test of the weldments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of friction stir welding parameters on the microstructural and mechanical properties of AA 6016-T4 thin welds
Dulce Maria Rodrigues,Altino Loureiro,Carlos Leitão,R.M. Leal,R.M. Leal,B.M. Chaparro,Pedro Vilaça +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welds were analyzed and compared with two different tools, and the results showed that the hot welds, obtained with the maximum tool rotational speed and the minimum traverse speed, have improved mechanical properties relative to the cold welds that were in undermatch condition relative to a base material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction surfacing—A review
João Gandra,H. Krohn,Rosa Maria Mendes Miranda,Pedro Vilaça,Luísa Quintino,J.M.F. dos Santos +5 more
TL;DR: Friction surfacing (FS) is a solid state technology with increasing applications in the context of localized surface engineering and has been investigated mainly for producing fine grained coatings, which exhibit superior wear and corrosion properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Material flow in heterogeneous friction stir welding of thin aluminium sheets: Effect of shoulder geometry
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of tool geometry on material flow during heterogeneous friction stir welding in 1 mm thick plates of AA 5182-H111 and AA 6016-T4 aluminium alloys was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical behaviour of similar and dissimilar AA5182-H111 and AA6016-T4 thin friction stir welds
TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile behavior of similar and dissimilar friction stir welds in 1 mm thick sheets of two aluminium alloys (AA5182-H111 and AA6016-T4) is analyzed.
