A Review on the Friction Stir Brazing for Joining Dissimilar Materials by Akeel Dhahir Subhi

“…Sound interfacial bonding can be observed in the central zone of FSBed joints, where intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be formed by direct diffusion among the dissimilar workpieces after extrusion of liquid phase rather than by mechanical mixing or solidification of braze material. Increasing the transverse speed at a constant rotational speed has an influence on the peak temperature, but it remarkably reduces the holding time owing to the increased cooling rate. …”
