  • Investigation of friction stir weld joints of copper sandwich aluminium alloy

    Welding International, 2026
    Aluminum alloys and their composites are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries for the manufacture of various parts and components. Friction stir welding is a unique and innovative method for joining similar and dissimilar materials/components without increasing their weight. Various researchers have reported FSW of Al–Cu dissimilar materials. However, sandwiching of Cu material between the joining edges has not yet been reported. The novelty of this study lies in introducing a Cu sandwich between the joining edges and investigating its effect on the joint properties of an Al-1120 plate welded by friction stir welding. Welding is carried out at tool rotational speeds of 900, 1400, and 2240 rpm, and at a constant transverse speed of 27 mm/min, using a conical-threaded pin profile FSW tool. The properties of sandwiched and unsandwiched weld joints were compared. The result reveals that weld joints fabricated at 1400 rpm exhibit higher tensile strength. Higher flexural strength was observed in weld joints fabricated at 2240 rpm. Furthermore, the wear behaviour of weld joints fabricated at 1400 rpm exhibits superior. It is strongly recommended that Cu sandwich joints not be used in applications where corrosion is suspected.

  • Adhesive assisted TiB2 coating effects on friction stir welded joints

    Scientific Reports, 2022
    Friction stir welding is a novel technique for joining ferrous and non-ferrous materials in a solid state. The groove fill techniques are most popular and generally used by researchers to dope reinforcement in the FSWed zone to improve the properties of joints. The main drawback of this technique is that a few amounts of reinforcement material come out from the groove during the fabrication of the joint. In the present work, the adhesive-assisted reinforcement technique was used to overcome this problem for the fabrication of particulates reinforced friction stirred weld joint. In the present work, the aluminum alloy plate edges were coated with a thin layer of TiB2. The coated and non-coated edge plates were joined using friction stir welding at the rotational speed of 1400 and 2240 rpm, and welding speed of 32 mm/min using a taper threaded pin tool. The tensile strength of coated edge plate welded joints was found highest in comparison to non-coated joints which was 39.74% superior. The percentage elongation of coated edge joint was observed about 1.5 times lower than the non-coated edge plate joint. The flexure strength of TiB2 reinforced coated edge joint was found about 1.5 times higher. However, the impact strength of coated edge plate was found nearly three times lower than the uncoated edge joints. The TiB2 coated edge joints reveal 22.75% higher hardness than the non-coated edge plate joints welded at the rotational speed of 2240.
