Friction Stir Processing for Enhanced Low Temperature Formability: A Volume in the Friction Stir Welding and Processing Book Series

by Christopher B. Smith and Rajiv S. Mishra

The use of friction stir processing to locally modify the microstructure to enhanced formability has the potential to alter the manufacturing of structural shapes. There is enough research to put together a short monograph detailing the fundamentals and key findings. One example of conventional manufacturing technique for aluminum alloys involves fusion welding of 5XXX series alloys. This can be replaced by friction stir welding, friction stir processing...
