Feasibility of friction stir welding using a hemispherical tool tilted towards the retreating side

The use of a hemispherical tool tilted towards the retreating side for friction stir welding 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is investigated. Joints with smooth surfaces and without internal voids are obtained. Under the same welding and rotational speeds, adapting the tilt angle makes it possible to weld va...
