Joining of Fibre-Reinforced Thermoplastic Polymer Composites by Friction Stir W...
Pereira, Miguel A. R.; Galvão, Ivan; Costa, José Domingos; Amaro, Ana M.; Leal, Rui M.The objective of the current work is to show the potential of the friction stir welding (FSW) and its variants to join fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer (FRTP) composites. To accomplish that, the FSW technique and two other important variants, the friction stir spot welding (FSSW) and the refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW), are presented and explained in a brief but complete way. Since the joining o...
Effect of Friction Stir Welding Techniques and Parameters on Polymers Joint Eff...
Pereira, Miguel A. R.; Amaro, Ana M.; Reis, Paulo N. B.; Loureiro, AltinoThe objective of current work is to analyse the influence of different welding techniques and welding parameters on the morphology and mechanical strength of friction stir welds (FSW) in polymers, based on data collected in the literature. In the current work, only articles that provide data on the joint efficiency, or sufficient information to estimate it are considered. The process using conventional tool is ...
