A thermal-plastic model of friction stir welding in aluminum alloy

A three-dimensional heat transfer model for friction stir welding is presented in this paper. A moving coordinate was introduced to reduce the difficulty of modeling the moving tool. Heat input from the tool shoulder and the tool pin were considered in the model. The plastic deformation heat was int...
