Abstract
Dissimilar joint with good quality and mechanical properties is one of the major problems the industries. One of the most commonly used methods to solve this problem is friction stir welding process. In this paper two different tool pin with simple cylindrical and screwed profile were used to finding optimization of friction stir welding parameters to reach best mixing flow, composite structure and maximum tensile strength in dissimilar joint between AA6065 aluminum alloy and pure copper. In this research 1130 rpm tool rotation, 24, 40 and 65 mm/min travelling speed, 0.3 mm plunge depth and 3o tool tilt angle were carried out. The results shows that internal material flow that produced with screw pin was better than simple cylindrical in constant process parameters. According to the results, at lower tool travelling speed the strength of joint increases. The tensile test results revealed the maximum strength of joint of screw pin was 345MPa with 2.6mm elongation and simple cylindrical pin was 272MPa with 2.2mm elongation which welded with 1130 rpm and 24 mm/min travelling speed.

Abstract
The surface of continuous casting moulds with high number of castings may be worn or destructed. As result, an approach for increasing these moulds life is necessary. In this project, the goal is the restoration of the DHP copper sample. In this project, the destruction of the copper sample is done by creation of groove using a CNC machine. The restoration of the sample is done using OAW and filler to fill groove area. In this project, the effect of preheating temperature, filler type and heat treatment of welding area on hardness, microstructure, chemical analyses of welding area and thermal conductivity of the weld are investigated. The preheating temperature range of 300 to 450oC was selected. The Cu-P and Cu-Ag-P fillers were chosen to fill the groove of the weld area. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), micro hardness tester, optical microscope and thermal conductivity meter were employed for evaluation of the results in this project. The results showed that the increase of preheating temperature creates oxide layers and the decrease of preheating temperature causes the incomplete filling of the welding area. Finally, the preheating temperature of 400 oC was a proper choice considering the above mentioned factors. The stress relieving operation to decrease stress and preserve the mechanical properties in the temperature of 250 to 400 oC and duration two hours was carried out. The result demonstrated that the selected temperature causes no unwanted decrease on the hardness. It was also found that increasing the annealing duration, decreases the hardness of weld for Cu-P filler for Cu-Ag-P filler increasing the annealing duration, first decreases the weld hardness and then increases the weld hardness. The Cu-P filler was compared with Cu-Ag-P filler. The results showed that the Cu-Ag-P filler has less hardness (around 10 percent) than the filler without silver. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the Cu-Ag-P filler was around 10 percent more than the thermal conductivity of the Cu-P. It is obvious that the selection of the filler type depends on the type of base metal and its geometry. The results showed that the segregation in the Cu-P filler with 7.2 percent phosphorous, because of the proximity of the weld structure to the eutectic point, has slightly happened; while, the selection of the Cu-Ag-P filler with 6 percent silver caused severe segregation of silver to 90 percent silver at the center of weld at the non-dendrite area

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of rotary frictional welding process variables on microstructure, mechanical and physical properties of copper-aluminum dual-tube pipes. For this purpose, using a thermosetting friction welding machine, a copper pipe (99.44% purity) with a similar diameter aluminum tube (1050), was welded in three different conditions with different friction pressures and forging, and then by metallographic, hardening and microstructural testing it placed. The results of this study showed that with increasing friction pressure from 10 and 15 Bar respectively, in the interconnected phase, fuzzy interclass metal samples were created and caused a great loss in the deformation percentage and tensile strength of the interconnected sample. Also, with the reduction of frictional pressure and the removal of forging pressures down to 5 Bar, there is no proper bond between the two samples and formed in the interface between porosity and cracking. The most suitable result for the microstructure, mechanical and physical properties of the samples is in tubes with an outside diameter of 15 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm, for samples having a friction pressure of about 10 Bar and a forge pressure of 15 Bar. The presence of intermetallic Al-Cu phases such as CuAl2, due to higher electrical resistance and ceramic nature, increases the electrical resistance of the joint and, on the other hand, the presence of cracks and pores has reduced the flow rate and eventually increased electrical resistance of the samples

Abstract
In this paper, the experimental investigation of formability of friction stir welded ultra-thin sheets of IF steel is investigated experimentally. First, the sheets are joined by friction stir welding process based on the tests determined according to the Taguchi design of experiments. The investigated parameters in the welding process are as tool rotational and traverse speeds. Then, the tailor welded blanks are formed based on dome height test up to the defect stage and the dome height is measured for each test. Therefore, the effects of friction stir welding process parameters on formability of friction stir welded ultra-thin sheets of IF steel are evaluated. The results show that by increasing the rotational speed, the dome height in forming process decreases, while with increasing the traverse speed, the formability of tailor welded blanks by friction stir welding process improves. Also, the results of optimization based on signal to noise ratio method show that the tool rotational speed has the greatest effect on the dome height of tailor welded blank.

Abstract
The results showed that the microhardness and tensile strength of the heat-affected zone as the weakest welding zone in some samples reduced up to 30% compared to the base metal. On the other hand, a decrease in rotational speed, an increase in tool movement speed, and the number of welding passes cause grain refinement and improve mechanical properties. However, the effect of decreasing the rotation speed and increasing the tool movement speed were shown to be more favorable due to less heat production. Accordingly, the hardness in the welded zone with a rotational speed of 600 rpm and a movement of 80 mm/min increased from 90 to 125 HV compared to the base metal, and the hardness reduction in the zones around the welded zone was only 5 Vickers. It was also found that reducing the grain size of the stir zone, while improving the mechanical properties leads to increasing the density of the surface pasive layer, preventing the attack of aggressive chlorine ions and thus reducing the corrosion intensity by 50 times in saline seawater.

Abstract
In this research, friction stir welding of aluminum 1050 to copper with variable speed was investigated. For friction stir welding, rotational speeds of 900 and 1200 rpm and traverse speeds of 36, 63, and 125 mm/min were used. In order to check the phases and microstructure, scanning electron microscope analysis, X-ray spectrometry, and hardness testing were used. The disturbance zone included Al2Cu3, Al4Cu9, AlCu4, Al2Cu, and AlCu phases. The results showed that the formation of intermetallic phases and severe plastic deformation in the welding area caused an increase in hardness. The highest hardness value in the stirred area was 97.8 Vickers at a rotation speed of 900 rpm and an advance speed of 36 mm/min.
