Microscopic analysis of the morphology of seams in friction stir welded polypropylene

Supermolecular structure of welded seams prepared by friction stir welding (FSW) of polypropylene sheets has been studied by optical and electron microscopy. It has been shown that in the central parts of the seam spherulitic structures similar to that of the base material are formed, while at the b...
