This research investigates the impact of shoulder-workpiece separation on the friction stir channeling of copper, comparing two distinct tool designs. One design includes a clearance between the tool shoulder and workpiece; while, the other utilizes …
The effect of post-deposition heat treatment on microstructure and fatigue crack growth has been analyzed for electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V plates. Samples have been heat-treated at temperatures of 950◦C, and subsequently cooled at different cooling …
Additive manufacturing of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V has significantly increased over the past few years, primarily due to its broad application over the conventional manufacturing process for complex and near net shape production. However, …
CuCrZr alloy (Cu-0.8wt-%Cr-0.1wt-%Zr) and 316L stainless steel (Fe-0.03wt-%C-16wt-%Cr-10wt-%Ni) plates were successfully friction stir lap welded resulting in significant mechanical mixing of the two matrix elements, Cu and Fe, in the stir zone. The …
