Investigation of exit-hole repairing on dissimilar aluminum-copper friction stir welded joints

Exit-holes in friction stir welded dissimilar aluminum-copper (Al–Cu) joints are repaired by using probeless tools, forcing the surrounding material to fill the exit-hole cavity. The repair by refilling the same base materials is performed in two steps using probeless tools of different diameters. I...
