Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, Volume 240, Issue 10, Page 3578-3594, May 2026.
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is highly effective for joining aluminum alloys, including difficult-to-weld 2xxx and 7xxx series. This study examines FSW of dissimilar AA2014 (advancing side) and AA7075 (retreating side) using weld codes AW5, AW6, AW7, and ...
