Abstract:An attempt is made to reduce the process forces and tool wear during friction stir welding of 409M ferritic stainless steel and to enhance the mechanical properties by induction preheating of base metal with different preheating temperatures at the leading of tool. It is observed that the preheating significantly decreased the longitudinal and axial forces. Tool degradation analysis was carried out to find out the loss of tool profile and material. Mechanical properties especially impact toughness values were … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
