Effects of Shoulder Geometry on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Probeless Friction Stir Spot Welded Aluminum 7075-T651 Sheets

In this work, three types of probeless tools (archimedes, involute, and concave tools) were designed. A 7075-T651 sheet of 1.0 mm thickness was welded using the designed probeless tools. It was found that the stir zone and hook defect varied a lot for different joints. Plunge depth was the dominant...
