Abstract:In an attempt to provide a more flexible means of achieving friction stir welding (FSW) of Aluminum without the use of expensive FSW machine tool, which are not readily available, this study developed a mobile fixture system (MFS) for FSW on Vertical milling Machine Tool (VMMT) and Pillar drilling machine Tool (PDMT). A conceptual design of the fixture system with a moving work table, which provides for transverse feed (movement) of the workpieces during FSW, was generated. The detailed design of the componen… Show more
