Low-heat-input parameters of 400 rpm rotation rate in water (400-Water) could effectively inhibit the coarsening of recrystallized grains, reduce the precipitation rate, and retain more dislocations of the UFG 6061 Al parent metal. 400-Water joint showed high lowest-hardness value, narrow low-hardness zone, and high tensile strength, attributing to the effect of dislocation, grain boundary, solid-solution, and precipitation hardening. This work provides an effective strategy to fabricate large-sized bulk UFG AI alloy by cold rolling with large deformation and low-heat-input FSW.展开更多

By mounting a piece of plate to the end of the electrodes,the end effect can be reduced.However,the size of the plate required to eliminate completely this effect is much larger than that usually mounted on commercially available probes.Comparison between theoretical and experimental results was made.Reasonable agreement was obtained.展开更多
