The Effect of Process Parameters on the Performance of the RFSSW of ZK61M-T5 Magnesium Alloy. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)This study investigates refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) of 2 mm thick ZK61M-T5 magnesium alloy. Sound joints were obtained at rotational speeds of 1000 rpm and 1500 rpm with welding speeds of 30–50 mm/min. At 1000 rpm, micro-pores appeared at the sleeve-affected zone bottom, exhibiting a full-fillet fracture and a maximum ultimate lap shear ...

Effect of Corrosion Protection Method on Properties of RSW and RFSSW Lap Joints Applied in Production of Thin-Walled Aerostructures. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2020 Aluminum structures, and in particular an element of aerostructures, are strongly exposed to the effects of weather conditions. In the case of using new techniques of joining these structural elements, the selection of proper corrosion protection without losing the required properties of the joint may determine its potential application.

Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Thin-Walled Stringer-Stiffened Panels Welded with RFSSW Technology under Uniaxial Compression. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2019 Many aircraft structures are thin walled and stringer-stiffened, and therefore, prone to a loss of stability. This paper deals with accurate and validated stability analysis of the model of aircraft skin under compressive loading. Both experimental and numerical analyzes are conducted. Two different methods of joining panel elements are considered.
