Compensation of Vertical Position Error Using a Force–Deflection Model in Friction Stir Spot Welding

Despite increasing need for friction stir spot welding (FSSW) for high-temperature softening materials, system deflection due to relatively high plunging force remains an obstacle. System deflection results in the vertical position error of a welding tool and insufficient plunge depth. In this study...
