Abstract

The influence of tool geometry on material flow during friction stir welding of dissimilar aluminium alloys is investigated. Sheets of Al 2024 and Al 6061 alloys are friction stir welded in lap and butt configurations using different welding conditions. Optical microscopy with serial sectioning is u...
