Current Trends In Friction Stir Welding Fsw And Friction Stir Spot Welding Fssw

Download or read book Current Trends in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) written by Mukuna Patrick Mubiayi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of friction stir welding and friction stir spot welding with a focus on aluminium to aluminium and aluminium to copper. It also discusses experimental results for friction stir spot welding between aluminium and copper, offering a good foundation for researchers wishing to conduct more investigations on FSSW Al/Cu. Presenting full methodologies for manufacturing and case studies on FSSW Al/Cu, which can be duplicated and used for industrial purposes, it also provides a starting point for researchers and experts in the field to investigate the FSSW process in detail. A variant of the friction stir welding process (FSW), friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a relatively new joining technique and has been used in a variety of sectors, such as the automotive and aerospace industries. The book describes the microstructural evolution, chemical and mechanical properties of FSW and FSSW, including a number of case studies.
