Effect of Alloying Elements on Intermetallic Formation during Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Metals: A Critical Review on Aluminum/Steel
The main drawback of friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar metals is the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which are brittle and affect the strength of the joint. The formation of these compounds is inevitable due to their low enthalpy of formation; however, their emergence is an indicat...
