title = "Effect of plunge depth on weld integrity of friction stir welds of dissimilar aluminium and copper",
abstract = "This paper presents the effects of plunge depth on the weld integrities of Friction Stir lap welds of aluminium and copper. 3 mm sheets of aluminium and copper were joined using the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) technique. The study focuses on understanding the relationship between the defects and the process parameters. The produced welds were characterized using visual inspection, microstructural evaluation and microhardness profiling. It was found that while all the typical FSW microstructural zones were present in the welds, the sizes of the voids observed in the welds were dependent on the plunge depth employed. Optimization of the processing parameters is in view.",
