RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kvasnová, Petra A1 Novák, Daniel A1 Novák, Viktor A1 Ďuriš, Milan T1 Computer Simulation of Heating Cycle of Aluminum Alloys Using Friction Stir Welding Technology JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2023 VO 23 IS 1 SP 47 OP 52 DO 10.21062/mft.2023.014 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-202301-0010.php AB The paper deals with welding of aluminum alloys using Friction Stir Welding technology. This repre-sents one of the solid-state welding technologies in which the base materials are not melted. This pro-vides new possibilities for the use of special and hybrid manufacturing technologies. The article presents the current progress in the Friction Stir Welding technology, a microstructure analysis of a weld joint created by the FSW method and a heat-deformation computer simulation of an aluminium alloy speci-men in the program Ansys.
