Tool for Friction Stir Welding in the Aerospace Industry

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A tool for friction stir welding is analyzed experimentally. On the basis of model tests, design improvements are proposed: specifically, the proposed profile of the working section takes the form of a combination of helical channels of different spacing, depth, and diameter. Production of this tool by electrospark milling is feasible.
