Aim of this research is first to evaluate the applicability of micro Friction Stir Welding (μFSW) to wrought zinc alloy sheets and then to improve the structural integrity of such joints.
The Research Paper “Micro-Friction Stir Welding of Titan Zinc Sheets”authored by Papaefthymiou, S.; Goulas, C.; Gavalas, E. can be found in the Journal of Materials Processing Technology, http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2014.08.029, and is available online since September 6th, 2014.
The Corresponding Author Dr.-Ing. S. Papaefthymiou is Lecturer at the National Technical University of Athens but at the same time he continues Research and Development cooperation with ELKEME where he served till recently as Head of Physical Metallurgy and Forming department.
