Friction stir welding of Inconel alloy 600

Over the past 15 years, it has been proven to be a promising joining process for low melting point materials including aluminum and magnesium alloys. However, these materials represent less than 10% of the welded products in the world. On the other hand, high melting point materials, such as steel a...

Description
Summary:Over the past 15 years, it has been proven to be a promising joining process for low melting point materials including aluminum and magnesium alloys. However, these materials represent less than 10% of the welded products in the world. On the other hand, high melting point materials, such as steel and nickel-based superalloys, represent more than 80% of the welded materials. Therefore, it is very promising to apply FSW to high melting point materials. In this study, a new approach was made to join the Inconel alloy 600 by FSW, and the joint properties and microstructures were examined.
