Abstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid state joining process primarily for aluminum alloys. FSW process can also be applied to the welding of a variety of other materials, including magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steels and metal matrix composites. However, very little information is available regarding FSW characteristics of superplastic alloys. In this study, trials with friction stir lap welding of superplastic Zn-22Al alloy were carried out on a modified milling machine. The results of FSW performed on superplastic Zn-22Al alloy were discussed in terms of the possibility of the development of bulk superplastic Zn-22Al alloy.
