4th International Symposium 2003
The friction stir welding of lap joints of aluminium alloy 6061 sheet of 3 mm thickness was monitored using a variety of sensors, to establish systems for weld quality control. A triaxial dynamometer measured the forces on the workpiece in three per…

4th International Symposium 2003
Tensile testing was used to characterise and compare the fracture locations and their influencing factors for a number of friction stir welded aluminium materials (AA-1050, AA-2017, AA-6061). Friction stir welding was carried out on sheets of thickn…

Characterization of friction stir weldments in 500 Brinell hardness quenched and tempered steel
ArticleThe mechanical properties and microstructures of friction stir butt welds in 6.4 mm and 12.7 mm thickness quenched and tempered martensitic steel plate were compared with those of GMA butt welds in the same parent metal. The friction stir welds in t…

Correlation between FSW parameters and welding defects formation in 25%SiC/2124Al composite joints
ArticleSiC particle reinforced 2124Al metal matrix composite (MMC) plates (thickness 8 mm) were joined by friction stir welding (FSW) and the relationship between process parameters, weld defect formation and joint mechanical properties was investigated. T…
