title = "Microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of friction skew-stir welded lap joints in 5083-0 aluminium",
abstract = "The Skew-stir{\texttrademark} process, a variant of the friction stir welding (FSW) technique developed at TWI, was used for the production of lap joints in aluminium alloy AA5083-0. This process differs from the conventional method in that the axis of the tool is given a slight inclination, or skew, to that of the machine spindle. It is particularly advantageous in cases where a wide weld region is required, such as lap joints where the interface is perpendicular to the machine axis. The microstrucrures and tensile properties of welds made using both a conventional pin-type probe and the rotary Skew-stir technique with an A-Skew{\texttrademark} probe were studied.",
