title = "Alloy, tool geometry, and process parameter effects on friction stir weld energies and resultant FSW joint properties",
abstract = "An attempt has been made to systematically examine controlled friction stir weld process parameters (e.g. rpm and welding speed), tool geometry, and alloy effects on weld properties and dependent weld process variables (e.g. required forces and weld energy). Welds have been made in several aluminum alloys using FSW parameters chosen to provide different levels of specific weld energy and the required forces and torques recorded. Tool geometry effects on weld strength and resultant process parameters have been quantified for the aluminum-lithium alloy, 2195. Trends suggested by the data and directions for further exploration will be discussed.",
