Böcker i Friction Stir Welding and Processing-serien

Describes the fundamentals of residual stresses in friction stir welding and reviews the data reported for various materials. This book reviews magnitude of residual stresses in various metals and alloys. It discusses mitigation strategies for residual stresses during friction stir welding.

Fatigue in Friction Stir Welding provides knowledge on how to design and fabricate high performance, fatigue resistance FSW joints. It summarizes fatigue characterizations of key FSW configurations, including butt and lap-shear joints. The book''s main focus is on fatigue of aluminum alloys, but discussions of magnesium, steel, and titanium alloys are also included. The FSW process-structure-fatigue performance relationships, including tool rotation, travel speeds, and pin tools are covered, along with sections on extreme fatigue conditions and environments, including multiaxial, variable amplitude, and corrosion effects on fatigue of the FSW. From a practical design perspective, appropriate fatigue design guidelines, including engineering and microstructure-sensitive modeling approaches are discussed. Finally, an appendix with numerous representative fatigue curves for design and reference purposes completes the work.Provides a comprehensive characterization of fatigue behavior for various FSW joints and alloy combinations, along with an in-depth presentation on crack initiation and growth mechanismsPresents the relationships between process parameters and fatigue behaviorDiscusses modeling strategies and design recommendations, along with experimental data for reference purposes
