Evolución Microestructural en Uniones de la Aleación Ti-6Al-4V Mediante el Proceso de Soldadura de Punto por Fricción-agitación

Abstract Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a process of recent development and interest, mainly in titanium alloys, since there are previous studies of aluminum alloys, magnesium, steel and polymers. Titanium alloys have a wide range of applications in the aeronautical industry, mainly in the components of commercial aircrafts as landing gear. Therefore, this work was focused on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, this type of alloy has alpha (α) and beta (β) phases, giving a better balance between its mechanical properties as hardness and tensile strength. The FSSW process was performed using a high sp...
