Influence of Plunge Depth on Temperatures and Material Flow Behavior in Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding of Thin AA7075-T6 Sheets: A Numerical Study

Plunge depth is one of the most important process parameters that affect the joint strength in refill friction stir spot welding (refill FSSW). In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model is developed using the Lagrangian incremental formulation in DEFORM-3D to simulate the refill FSSW proces...
