Joining of Fibre-Reinforced Thermoplastic Polymer Composites by Friction Stir Welding—A Review

The objective of the current work is to show the potential of the friction stir welding (FSW) and its variants to join fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer (FRTP) composites. To accomplish that, the FSW technique and two other important variants, the friction stir spot welding (FSSW) and the refil...
