Effects of Friction Stir Process on the Tensile Properties of AZ61 Magnesium Alloy at Room Temperature to 200 °C

  • Chapter
Magnesium Technology 2012

Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW possesses more advantages than other traditional welding processes because it is a solid-state joint process [1]. In addition, friction stir processing is adopted as a new surface modification approach. It is acceptable that the dynamic recrystallization phenomenon during FSW/FSP results in the generation of fine and equiaxed grains in the stir zone [2–3].
