Microstructure and mechanical properties of refill friction stir spot welded joints: Effects of tool size and welding parameters

A novel refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) technique employing large-sized tools is proposed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of joints produced with a large-sized welding tool and a conventional tool are compared. The results show that the exit line resulting from the sleeve bec...
