Traditional tools in friction stir welding (FSW) of thermoplastics fail to achieve high quality and strong welds. In this paper, a new heat-assisted stationary shoulder FSW tool design, which provides constant tool temperature during the process using a controllable hot air gun, is introduced. Effect of the process parameters, including tool temperature, rotational speed, and traverse speed, on the...
One of the main challenges in recent friction stir welding (FSW) investigations is the welding of pipelines. Limited numbers of researches have been investigated on FSW of metallic pipes while the FSW of polymeric pipes still remains challenging. In the present study, the FSW process of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes is developed which is to the best of our knowledge for the first time to...
