Effect of Friction Stir Welding Parameters on the Formability of Dissimilar Aluminium Tailor Welded Blanks

Abstract

Automotive, marine and aerospace industries have been trying to improve fuel newlineefficiency without compromising structural integrity. The use of Tailor Welded Blanks newline(TWB) has gained popularity in the manufacturing of automotive, marine, aerospace newlineparts due to their higher strength to weight ratio. The main advantage of reducing the newlineweight of components leads to improvement in fuel efficiency, this leads to reduction newlinein harmful emissions into the atmosphere to some extent. newline
