Two-Pass Friction Stir Welding of AZ31/AA1050 Bimetallic Butt–Lap Joint
This study evaluated the feasibility of friction stir welding (FSW) of AZ31/AA1050 bimetallic plates produced by explosive welding. The investigated material had a total thickness of 10 mm (5 + 5 mm) and, after milling, 8 mm (4 + 4 mm). Butt–Lap joints were produced using both a single-pass and a two-pass FSW approach....
