A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries
The tool is a key component in the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, but the tool degrades and changes shape during use; however, only a limited number of experimental studies have been undertaken in order to understand the effect that worn tool geometry has on the material flow and resultant wel...
