Abstract:Friction stir processing procedures are often found to be an alternative choice for the joining of thermoplastic polymers without melting the base materials. In recent years, dissimilar metallic to thermoplastic assemblies are highly used in aerospace and automotive industries as mechanical fastener or fusion welding techniques are rather inadequate for extreme discrepancy in thermal properties. The present work addresses the feasibility of friction stirred spot welding for non-ferrous aluminium (Al 6061) to p… Show more
