Abstract
Commercially pure Mo plates, 1.5 mm thick, were successfully friction stir welded using an Ir–Re alloy tool. This material has the highest melting point (2620 °C) of those that have been friction stir welded so far. The joints showed a refined microstructure in the stir zone and a slightly coarsened structure in the heat-affected zone, wherein the fracture took place in tensile tests. The joints can reach a maximum tensile strength equivalent to 86% of that of the base metal.
