Stress engineering of friction stir welding : measurement and control of welding residual stresses

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a maturing welding technique using a rotating tool for simultaneous heating and stir deforming th~ material interface to form a solid bond. Significant tensile residual stresses (RS) and component distortion may be produced even with optimized FSW parameters. Recent st...
