A Finite Element Simulation of Temperature and Material Flow in Fricton Stir Welding

The purpose of this research was to use the Transvalor S.A. product, Forge3, to develop a finite element simulation of the friction stir welding process that improves the predictability of temperature evolution and material flow within the plunge portion of the process. Previous modeling created mor...
