Microstructural characterisation and mechanical properties of dissimilar AA5083-copper joints produced by friction stir welding

This work aims to study the influence of the tool rotational speed and tool traverse speed on dissimilar friction stir butt welds on 3 mm thick AA5083 to commercially pure copper plates. Complex microstructures were formed in the thermo-mechanically affected zone, in which a vortex-like pattern and...
