On Friction, Heat Input, and Material Flow Initiation during Friction Stir Welding: Tool and Process Optimization
The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process depends entirely upon mechanical contact between the tool and the workpiece. As a result of this, all process phenomena and process outcomes such as weld geometry and mechanical properties are governed by FSW’s frictional system. The following work characteriz...
