Examining the Effects of Post Weld Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Welded Low Carbon Steel
This study demonstrates that optimizing Friction Stir Welding parameters for low carbon steel at 1100 RPM, 40 mm/min, and a 5 mm tool pin, followed by Post Weld Heat Treatment, effectively trades a slight reduction in strength and hardness for significantly improved ductility and impact toughness through microstructural refinement.
