Effect of tool geometrical parameters on friction stir welding joint properties of aluminum alloy AA6061

Friction stir welding (FSW) process is a solid state joining process in which a non-consumable tool is used to generate frictional heat in the abutting surfaces. The welding parameter such as welding speed, tool rotational speed, and tool profile plays a major role in deciding the weld joint strengt...
