Material Flow and Mechanical Properties of a Non-Keyhole Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Alloy with Improved Sleeve Bottom Geometry

Non-keyhole friction stir welding (N-KFSW) is a technique that can fabricate a welding joint without a keyhole through a one-time welding process. The Al–Mg–Si alloy was chosen as a research object, and the N-KFSW technique was investigated by numerical and experimental methods. Firstly, the sleeve...
