| Abstract | It has been demonstrated that a number of different tool designs can be used to produce a sound friction stir welded joint in 0.250-in. 2024-T351. These results are in reasonable agreement with reported results for 2024-T3 in a range of thicknesses. This is not to suggest that one tool may not provide any particular advantage over another in terms of productivity, fatigue, etc. For allowables or a performance specification, it is unnecessary to define exact tool geometries. Tool geometries would be found in the weld process specifications of individual suppliers or producers, but should not be a requirement to meet performance goals. |
