Advantages of the Green Solid State FSW over the Conventional GMAW Process

The present work is an experimental comparison between the friction stir welding (FSW) and the conventional gas metal arc welding (GMAW) in joining of Al alloys. Two sets of 3 mm thick aluminum strip pairs were friction stir welded in a regular butting joint configuration. Two rotational speeds of...
