A review of friction stir welding of aluminium matrix composites (2015, background): “In an investigation on high cycle fatigue of FSW joint AA7005/Al2O3/10p and AA6061/Al2O3/20p [59,60], it was reported that the FSW joint of the former material exhibited higher fracture toughness and lower fatigue crack growth, whilst the behaviour of the latter was opposite.”
Effect of microstructural evolution on mechanical properties of friction stir welded AA2009/SiCp composite (2008, methodology): “It is hard to achieve defect-free welds by using conventional fusion welding techniques [1].”
Effect of processing parameters on fabrication of Al-Mg/Cu composites via friction stir processing (2012, background): “Differences between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the reinforcements and the matrix increase the dislocation density due to the formation of residual stresses during cooling time causing an increase in the hardness of the SZ [46].”
Influence of friction stir welding parameters on the microstructural and mechanical properties of AA 6016-T4 thin welds (2009, background): “Although currently FSW can be used to join several materials such as magnesium [10,11], copper [12–14], steel [15–18], titanium [19,20] and MMCs [21, 22 ], the primary research and industrial interest for this process was for butt and lap joining of aluminium alloys, especially the 2XXX, 6XXX and 7X”
