FRICTION STIR WELDING OF SPHERES, CYLINDERS, AND T-JOINTS: DESIGN, EXPERIMENT, MODELLING, AND ANALYSIS

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a high quality joining process which is currently limited by its range of application. Four experiments are presented which demonstrate expanded application of FSW. Included with these studies are computational models which reliably predict temperature gradients, mater...
