Optimized fatigue and fracture performance of friction stir welded aluminium plate : a study of the inter-relationship between process parameters, TMAZ, microstructure, defect population and performance
Friction stir welding (FSW) is an exciting new solid-state welding process with the potential to advantageously impact many fabrication industries. Current take-up of the process by industry is hindered by lack of knowledge of suitable welding parameters for any particular alloy and sheet thickness....
