Abstract:The friction welding of tube to tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET) is widely deployed in several industrial applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and power plants. Moreover, for achieving a better tensile strength and hardness in the weld zone, the friction stir processing (FSP) technique was incorporated into the FWTPET process for joining aluminum alloys (AA6063 tube, AA6061 tube plate). Furthermore, it has to be noted that FWTPET was applied for joining the AA6063 tube to the AA6061 tube plat… Show more
“…In this way, they concluded that the AZ31-fly ash composite possesses higher wear resistance as compared to AZ31 alloy [150]. It is evident that FSW and FSP techniques could have beneficial impacts on the mechanical behavior of Mg and other metallic alloys [133,[151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167]. Hence, the mechanical properties of some types of magnesium-based alloys before and after FSP are listed in Table 7.…”
Friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir processing (FSP) are two of the most widely used solid-state welding techniques for magnesium (Mg) and magnesium alloys. Mg-based alloys are widely used in the railway, aerospace, nuclear, and marine industries, among others. Their primary advantage is their high strength-to-weight ratio and usefulness as a structural material. Due to their properties, it is difficult to weld using traditional gas- or electric-based processes; however, FSW and FSP work very well for Mg and its alloys. Recently, extensive studies have been carried out on FSW and FSP of Mg-based alloys. This paper reviews the context of future areas and existing constraints for FSW/FSP. In addition, in this review article, in connection with the FSW and FSP of Mg alloys, research advancement; the influencing parameters and their influence on weld characteristics; applications; and evolution related to the microstructure, substructure, texture and phase formations as well as mechanical properties were considered. The mechanisms underlying the joining and grain refinement during FSW/FSP of Mg alloys-based alloys are discussed. Moreover, this review paper can provide valuable and vital information regarding the FSW and FSP of these alloys for different sectors of relevant industries.

In this article, a new approach is applied to reuse Artemisia residue (AR) as filler in polyurethane (PU) foam for vegetable oil sorption for discarded cooking oil applications. The pristine PU and PU/X%AR foams (X stands for AR content of 5–20%wt/wt) were characterized by SEM, density, contact angle (CA), thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The influence of two experimental factors, such as contact time (30–180 s) and initial vegetable oil concentration (20–200 g/L), was investigated in vegetable oil and vegetable oil/mineral water systems. The AR loading of the foams increased the foams' density and influenced the morphological, physical, thermal, and sorption properties. The PU/20%AR sample presented the highest CA (122.5°) and the best sorption capacity and efficiency in both systems due to the small pores size and higher frequency of pores. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models well defined the sorption mechanisms. The Langmuir model represented the best fit of experimental data for PU/20%AR with a maximum adsorption capacity of 16.86 g/g. The PU/20%AR presented reusability of 7 cycles, conserving their hydrophobicity after the process. Therefore, AR is an innovative route as fillers in PU foams for discarded vegetable oil sorption, and the circular economy can benefit from the reuse of discarded vegetable cooking oil.
