An investigation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of friction stir welded joint of AA2014 in natural cooled (NC) and water cooled (WC) conditions have been reported. Optical microscopy, ...

Friction stir welding of AA2014 aluminium alloy was performed at seven different speed combinations. Weld thermal cycles were measured at all the speed parameters and corresponding peak temperatures were observed at higher ...

This present study uses an indigenously designed non-rotating shoulder friction stir welding (NRSFSW) tool to weld AA2014 aluminium alloy. This tool is harnessed with a penetrated material removal mechanism. Generally, the ...

Reinforcement of external particles during friction-stir welding (FSW) is significantly used to improve the weld joint’s performance. The present study involves reinforcement of the external particles in the weld joint ...

Friction stir processing (FSP) is an effective solid state surface modification technique used to improve the surface properties of metals like aluminium, and titanium controlled structural refinement. In present work, ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) of AA2014 aluminium alloy was performed by sandwiching pure aluminium (Al) in the form of strip between the abutting surfaces. Mechanical and corrosion behavior of weld joint with and without ...

This chapter deals with the various aspects of joining dissimilar materials using the friction stir welding (FSW) technique. The joining of dissimilar materials is an important need for the manufacturing sector, especially ...

Vibration caused by rotor unbalance is one of the most pertinent problems facing the rotating machines, including electrical motors and turbo machinery among others. Thus vibration attenuation has become very essential in ...

Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) has been extensively used for fault diagnosis due to its capability in handling amplitude-frequency modulated (AM-FM) and multicomponent signals. However, its performance in handling the signals ...
