Performance evaluation of a novel force measuring device for Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of aluminum alloys
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has the advantage of generating sound welds on materials that generally present low weldability by traditional fusion welding processes, such as 2xxx and 7xxx aluminum alloys.Force measurement in FSW provides significant information about the Perfume process, the machine requirements, the effect of selected parameters, a
