Investigations and optimization of friction stir welding process to improve microstructures of aluminum alloys

This work mainly focus on finding the optimal conditions for improving the efficiency of the dissimilar welded joints that were prepared using the friction stir welding (FSW) process. To carry out further research on the FSW process, it is very important to know the significant process parameters. A...
