Special Issue on Friction Stir Welding
Friction stir welding is a welding method invented by British welding institute (TWI) in 1991 to
join metals, metal matrix composites, ceramics and plastics without melting the
workpiece material. It has been widely applied in aerospace, shipbuilding
automobiles, electronics and electric power. In particular, it can be used in
welding of high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other high temperature
metallic alloys. Due to its better mechanical properties, energy efficiency,
low environmental impact, reduced requirement of machining compared with fusion
welding, friction stir welding is considered to be the most significant
development in metal joining in recent decades.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on
exploring friction stir welding.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Friction stir welding of aluminum alloy
-
Friction stir welding of steel
-
Friction stir weld of magnesium alloy
-
Principles of friction stir welding
-
Modeling of friction stir welding
-
Prospects of friction stir welding
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue – Friction Stir Welding”
should be chosen during your submission.
According to the
following timetable:
