Selected Possibilities of the FSW and FSSW Methods in the Removal of Material Defects and Welding Imperfections

Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2017, Vol 61, Issue 5

Abstract

The article describes unconventional applications of friction stir welding (FSW; linear) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW) processes including the possibility of removing material defects and welding imperfections. The article presents results of tests involving aluminium alloys and demonstrates various repair methods in relation to types of material defects and welding imperfections.
