Effect of Welding Conditions on the Structure and Properties of Joints Made of Wrought Aluminium Alloys in High-Speed FSW
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 5
Abstract
The FSW process is primarily used to join elements made of similar materials. Generally, the making of structures involving the use of similar materials require low welding rates. The article presents research results connected with the high-speed FSW of wrought aluminium alloys and the effect of welding conditions on the structure and properties of joints. The welds made within the research-related tests were characterized by high quality and free from any imperfections.
