Although friction stir welding (FSW) has widely been applied to aluminum alloys in several industries over the past three decades, it is not yet used in industry for joining of steels. The aim of this study is to characterize ...

Externally cooled rolls of a steel plant were coated using three different surface modification techniques, namely titanizing, boronizing and borotitanizing. The grown coatings were examined using optical microscopy, ...

The mass saving potential of light-weight materials, such as Al alloys, is beneficial for fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions. However, the wide-spread use of these alloys has been long hindered due to the difficulty ...

AISI D2 steel is the most commonly used cold-work tool steel in its grade. In this study, microstructural characterization and some mechanical properties of borided AISI D2 steel samples were investigated. The boriding ...

The present study focuses on the applicability of friction stir welding to pure Pb plates. The joint performances are evaluated by optical microscopy, microhardness measurements, notch impact tests and three point bending ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructures of friction-stir welded (FSWed) St52 structural steel joints. In this study, St52 steel plates with a thickness of 4 mm were butt-welded ...

In this study, the weldability of lower strength St 37 grade steel plate with a higher strength steel plate (i. e., St 44) using the friction stir welding technique has been studied. St 37 grade steel sheets are widely ...

In this study, the applicability of friction stir welding to cast NAB alloy (i.e., C95800) with a thickness of 9 mm has been investigated. The joint performance was determined by conducting optical microscopy, microhardness ...

The unique combination of very large strains, high temperatures and high strain rates inherent to friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) and their dependency on the processing parameters provides ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with face-centered cubic (FCC) structures exhibit high toughness and corrosion resistance, but their average strengths and relatively low wear resistance can limit their engineering ap-plications. ...
