Feasibility of orbital friction stir welding on clad pipes of API X65 steel and Inconel 625

Abstract Orbital friction stir welding (FSW) has been applied to clad pipes, which is certainly of interest to the oil and gas industry. In this context, an FSW system capable of performing sound joints in one pass with full tool penetration was developed. Orbital FSW was executed in 6 mm thick API...
