Achieving microstructural homogeneity in the stir zone across thick AA6061 welds using self-reacting bobbin tool friction stir welding

Abstract This study focuses into strategizing the usage of self-reacting bobbin tool friction stir welding (SRBT-FSW) to obtain consistent microstructural homogeneity along the thickness of AA6061 aluminium alloy (AA) thick plates during welding. The SRBT-FSW technology, distinguished by its dual-sh...
