Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Alloys and Materials
The book “Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Alloys and Materials” written by N. Kumar, W. Yuan and R. S. Mishra should be a mile stone for those people starting to deal with the Friction Stir Welding process. The reader can find a clear and tidy description of the theoretical and experimental aspects, with main focus on the process parameters and tool geometry. I particularly appreciate the high amount of considered literature data which have been expertly balanced into the text giving to the reader a clear and wise background for the study of joints welded with different materials. In this filed, all references to binary phase diagram and the formation of intermetallic compounds during the FSW process, is particularly interesting. In conclusion I would say that this book should be an important reference for those people who are getting started with the Friction Stir Welding.
