Abstract: This study utilizes a face-centered central composite response surface design of experiments to determine the effects of thread pitch when friction stir welding high-density polyethylene. The tool pin thread pitch, along ...

Abstract: AbstractPolymeric pipes are favorable over other materials in many applications due to their ease of handling and resistance to corrosion. PVC is the most reliable piping material to resist ruptures in water drainage ...

Abstract: Friction stir extrusion is a derivative process of friction stir welding for joining dissimilar materials. The process forms a mechanical joint through extrusion to form interlocking features between two metals. When joining ...
