Joining of AZ31 and AZ91 Mg alloys by friction stir welding

Two dissimilar magnesium (Mg) alloy sheets, one with low aluminium (AZ31) and another with high aluminium (AZ91) content, were successfully joined by friction stir welding (FSW). The effect of process parameters on the formation of hot cracks was investigated. A sound metallurgical joint was obtaine...
