Abstract

Several material designs using friction stir welding (FSW) are demonstrated. The FSW is solid-state processing techniques, which can be used for many processes such as welding and surface modification. In particular, this method is very useful for the material design of transformable materials such as steel and Ti alloys. When the FSW of steel is performed below the A1 point, the optimal microstructure consisting of very fine ferrite and globular cementite is obtained, regardless of the carbon content. When the FSW of Ti alloys is performed below the β transus, equiaxed grains of approximately 1–2 μm are obtained, and thus the mechanical properties, such as fatigue and toughness, are expected to improve.
