Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Friction stir welding of butt joints in aluminum alloys is considered. Experiments show that, with disruption of the welding temperature and time, defects localized at the boundary of the weld seam are observed: specifically, gaps due to the differential deformation of the seam and the matrix.
