Friction stir welding (FSW) was developed in the early 90s, and constituted a major breakthrough for joining Al alloys with high mechanical resistance. The procedure involves the use of a non-consumable rotating tool applied in the regions that must be joined, which are held together by applying a forging pressure. The heating caused by the tool rotation and by the plastic deformation, co…

The growth of the aerospace Market has been increasing competition among aircraft manufacturers, leading them to reduce operating costs and search for creative solutions. In this perspective, the constant search for increasingly efficient materials, methods and processes that allow the reduction of the weight and the consumption of fuel is noticed, raising the performance of the aircraft …
The international market competitiveness growth makes big companies search for alternatives for the improvement of their products. In the aeronautic context, one of the great challenges faced by aircraft designers consists of weight reduction and improvement in the strength of fuselage materials, situations that we highlight the problem of the riveting process. That mechanical elements cr…
The phenomenon of thermomechanical fatigue is an important limiter of the useful life of structural and mechanical components of internal combustion engines. The understanding of the phenomenon based on elucidation of the interdependence between mechanisms of microstructural damage and occurrence of thermal cycles is a primary factor when aiming the construction of mechanical components o…
