Effect of Backing Plate Materials in Micro-Friction Stir Butt Welding of Dissimilar AA6061-T6 and AA5052-H32 Aluminum Alloys

Thin sheets of lightweight aluminum alloys, which are increasingly used in automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries to reduce the weight of parts, are difficult to weld. When applying micro-friction stir welding (μ-FSW) to thin plates, the heat input to the base materials is considerably im...
