Microstructure and failure mechanisms of refill friction stir spot welded 7075-T6 aluminum alloy joints
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy joints joined by refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) were investigated, and the fracture mechanisms were observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope).
Journal ArticleDOI
Defect features and mechanical properties of friction stir lap welded dissimilar AA2024–AA7075 aluminum alloy sheets
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of process conditions (welding speed and joint combination) on defects (hook and voids) features and mechanical properties of joints were investigated in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and mechanical properties of friction spot welded 6061-T4 aluminum alloy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied FSpW to join the 6061-T4 aluminum alloy sheet with 2mm thickness and found that the tensile/shear strength reached the maximum of 7117.0 and 4555.4 N at the welding condition of the rotational speed of 1500rpm and duration time of 4 s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in friction stir spot welding
TL;DR: Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear friction stir welding (FSW), which was invented to compete with resistance spot welding and riveting of lightweight alloys in the au...
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of welding parameters on interfacial bonding in dissimilar steel/aluminum friction stir welds
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of welding parameters (i.e., travel speeds and penetration depth into lower steel sheet) on the interfacial bonding, tensile strength, and failure mechanism were investigated.
