EFFECT OF TOOL GEOMETRY ON FRICTION STIR PROCESSING AND FATIGUE
STRENGTH OF MIG T WELDS ON AL ALLOYS
HighlightsTool geometry has great influence on properties of FSP MIG welds; FSP removes defects in the MIG weld toe and increases its radius of curvature;Grain refinement in processed regions is affected by tool geometry Tool geometry influences the fatigue strength of FSP MIG T welds.
