Abstract:DSFSW welding uses the rotating of a tool in the workpiece to create heat owing to friction between workpiece and tool to be connected. Corrosion is influenced by the presence of high heat owing to friction and a non-uniform cooling rate. The heat transforms the metal in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and Weld Metal (WM) region, which can result in flaws such porosity, kissing bond, fractures, voids (from welding penetration), and flash as well as changes to the microstructure. Changes in the microstructure of w… Show more
