Welded Aeronautical Structures: Cost and Weight Considerations

A Review of Recent Improvements, Developments, Influential Parameters and Challenges in the Friction Stir Welding Process

“…For example, it has been applied effectively in automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and railway contexts. FSW is appropriate for various applications needing lightweight components and structures due to its capacity to combine dissimilar materials and construct complicated shapes [16][17][18]. Aluminum, titanium, and magnesium are low-weight, high-strength materials that are attractive in many such applications.…”
