METHOD FOR FRICTION STIR WELDING OF DISSIMILAR MATERIALS
摘要
<p>A process for adjoining materials by friction stir welding. Two adjacent material segments are heated by localized heating to raise the temperature of each segment along the intersection to a discrete predefined level below the melting point of the particular segment of material being heated. In conjunction with this discrete localized heating, friction stir welding is carried out along the intersection to form the solid state bond.</p>
