Microstructures and mechanical properties of micro friction stir welding (μFSW) of 6061-T4 aluminum alloy

Micro friction stir welding (μFSW) was successfully performed to join the ultra-thin 6061-T4 sheet with the thickness of 0.5 mm. The optimum plunging depth of 0.05 mm was obtained and reduction ratio was lower than 0.2%. Based on better dynamic flow induced by the triflat pin, the good surface appea...
