Recent advances in friction-stir welding : Process, weldment structure and properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the fundamental understanding of the process and its metallurgical consequences, focusing on heat generation, heat transfer and plastic flow during welding, elements of tool design, understanding defect formation and the structure and properties of the welded materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction stir welding of aluminium alloys
TL;DR: A comprehensive body of knowledge has built up with respect to the friction stir welding (FSW) of aluminium alloys since the technique was invented in 1991 is reviewed in this article, including thermal history and metal flow, before discussing how process parameters affect the weld microstructure and the likelihood of entraining defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of friction stir welding on microstructure of 7075 aluminum
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural changes effected by friction stir welding of 7075 Al. were evaluated and the authors concluded that friction-stir welding has the potential to avoid significant changes in microstructure and mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analytical model for the heat generation in friction stir welding
TL;DR: In this article, the authors established an analytical model for heat generation by friction stir welding (FSW), based on different assumptions of the contact condition between the rotating tool surface and the weld piece.

Microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stresses as a function of welding speed in aluminium AA5083 friction stir welds
TL;DR: In this article, the results of microstructural, mechanical property and residual stress investigations of four aluminium AA5083 friction stir welds produced under varying conditions were reported, and it was found that the weld properties were dominated by the thermal input rather than the mechanical deformation by the tool.
