Özet

Although Al-alloys have been widely applied in transportation industries in recent years owing to their low density and excellent formability properties, further advancement in welding of these alloys is a very critical issue for further increasing their use in practice. These alloys, which exhibit difficulties in fusion welding processes, particularly age-hardened grades, can be successfully joined by friction stir welding.
