“…Several studies on FSW involve dissimilar aluminum alloys [31,131]. Ghaffarpour et al [132] join dissimilar aluminum alloys of 5083-H12 in the retreating side and 6061-T6 in the advancing side, changing the rotational speed (i.e., 700, 1600, 2500 rpm) in combination, respectively, with the pin diameter (i.e., 2, 3, 4 mm), the shoulder diameter (i.e., 10, 12, 14 mm), and the traverse speed (i.e., 25, 212.5, 400 mm/min).…”
