Effect of the Tool Tilt Angle on the Heat Generation and the Material Flow in Friction Stir Welding
This work studies the effect of the tool tilt angle on the generated heat and the material flow in the work pieces joint by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). An apropos kinematic framework together with a two-stage speed-up strategy is adopted to simulate the FSW problem. The effect of tilt angle on the...
