Parametric finite-element studies on the effect of tool shape in friction stir welding [PDF]
The success of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, and the weld quality produced, depends significantly on the design of the welding tool. In this paper the effect of variation in various tool geometry parameters on FSW process outcomes, during the ...

Friction Stir Processing – A Review
Abstract Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid state surface modification technique which is recently used to fabricate surface composites. Friction stir processing is an extension of friction stir welding which is developed by the welding institute of UK in 1991.

Friction Stir welding and Friction Stir Processing for 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy
6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy plates were welded by using Friction Stir Welding (FSW) at different rotation and welding speeds. The effects of two factors on Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), which include rotation and welding speed at 2o tool tilt angle, were investigated.

Friction stir processing of Al–CNT composites [PDF]
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid-state process with the ability to refine grain sizes and uniformly disperse particles to improve the mechanical properties of the base material. In this study, FSP was performed on AA6061-T6 with and without additions of multi-walled CNTs.
