The influence of friction stir welding of dissimilar AZ31 and AZ91 magnesium alloys on the microstructure and tensile properties

Joining of magnesium alloys was successfully performed by friction stir welding (FSW) technique. This study was aimed in characterizing the microstructure developed after the FSW and its influence on the mechanical properties. The developed microstructure was observed by using optical microscopy, fr...
