Characterisation of force and torque with auxiliary heating during friction stir spot welding of AA2024-T3

The peak forces generated in friction stir welding impose substantial constraints on the process window of the technology, affecting factors such as machine scale, design, and the range of applicable materials. In this study, a combination of tool force monitoring and post-weld evaluations is employ...
