Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid formation of the sigma phase in 304 stainless steel during friction stir welding
Seung Hwan C. Park,Yutaka S. Sato,Hiroyuki Kokawa,Kazutaka Okamoto,Satoshi Hirano,Masahisa Inagaki +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a possibility was suggested that the sigma formation can be accelerated by the emergence of delta-ferrite at high temperature and the subsequent decomposition of the ferrite under the high strain and recrystallization induced by friction stirring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V friction stir welds
TL;DR: Friction stir welding (FSW) was applied to 3mm-thick Ti-6Al-4V plates under different rotational speeds as discussed by the authors, and failure-free welds were successfully produced at rotational speed of 400 and 500rpm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stir zone microstructure of commercial purity titanium friction stir welded using pcBN tool
TL;DR: In this article, a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride tool was used to apply friction stir welding to commercial purity titanium, and microstructure and hardness in the weld were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrosion resistance of friction stir welded 304 stainless steel
Seung Hwan C. Park,Yutaka S. Sato,Hiroyuki Kokawa,Kazutaka Okamoto,Satoshi Hirano,Masahisa Inagaki +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a friction stir welded 304 stainless steel was evaluated and the degree of sensitization was small in the heat affected zone, but the advancing side of the stir zone was corroded significantly because of the formation of the sigma phase.

Cooling plate and manufacturing method thereof, and sputtering target and manufacturing method thereof
Kazutaka Okamoto,Masayuki Doi,Hisanori Okamura,Yasuhisa Aono,Manabu Kagawa,Satoshi Hirano,Kinya Aota +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cooling plate including a groove, which becomes a passage of a coolant inside a body, wherein one or more fins are provided inside the groove, wherein the groove is covered with a lid having width larger than the groove and wherein the lid is joined to the body by friction stir welding.
