Current Trends in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) - Mukuna Patrick Mubiayi Esther Titilayo Akinlabi Mamookho Elizabeth Makhatha Gebunden

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 deta il. 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.
