FSW simulation
Intro: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid material welding technique. The technique was invented at the Welding Institute (TWI) in United Kingdom since 1991. Wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_stir_welding The technique was invented for the purpose of welding traditionally non-weldable material. Since during the entire process, the material is in a complete solid status, it will also help with eliminating many of the drawbacks from the traditional melt welding approaches, such as thermal shrinkage, unevenly distributed texture and microstructures and so on. Previously many studies was focused on the experimental testing to detect and determine the welding processing parameters, which includes temperature, stress, material flow, and potentially other conditions during the process, for a further analysis of mechanical properties of the welds. The method is less efficient, as it usually requires large costs in preparing materials at millshop, nor is it accura...
