Study on the Relationship between Root Metal Flow Behavior and Root Flaw Formation of a 2024 Aluminum Alloy Joint in Friction Stir Welding by a Multiphysics Field Model

In friction stir welding (FSW), many defects (such as kissing bond, incomplete penetration, and weak connection) easily occur at the root of the welded joint. Based on the Levy–Mises yield criterion of the Zener–Hollomon thermoplastic constitutive equation, a 3D thermal–mechanical coupled finite ele...
