Ultrasonic characterisation of dissimilar plates by friction stir welding

The friction stir welding and its weld properties such as tensile, micro structure of weld, grain size, and fine mixture of two alloys at to joint using testing methods. To determine the weld quality and conclude properties such as weld quality, weld strength, maximum stress that weld can withstand during operation conditions. There are various processes that involve testing the welded joint from which many are the destructive ones that are used to find the tensile strength, hardness of the joint, bending test and other tests. This paper gives an overview on how important is the fine mixture of the samples that undergo friction stir welding and how it impacts the welded sample properties. Friction stir welding creates more opportunities that are related in understanding the quality of the joint such as testing methods to increase the production by faster analysis of defects. This testing method effectively utilizes that modern computation and means to boost the production. This level of understanding creates the path to innovate new techniques to resolve industry level problems in quality control. As the non-destructive testing methods provided with no loss of the testing specimen and understanding the quality of the material after they are assembled. Such initial developments made the usage of NDT in quality control and effective results to determine the quality. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
