A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries (2015)
Journal Article

The tool is a key component in the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, but the tool degrades and changes shape during use; however, only a limited number of experimental studies have been undertaken in order to understand the effect that worn tool g...

A sensitivity study of parameters affecting residual stress predictions in finite element modelling of the inertia friction welding process (2015)
Journal Article

This study presents a finite element (FE) model capable of predicting the final residual stress field in an inertia friction welded component of a CrMoV steel considering the elastic and inelastic components of strain resulting from mechanical deform...

Finite element modelling of the inertia friction welding of a CrMoV alloy steel including the effects of solid-state phase transformations (2015)
Journal Article

Finite element (FE) process modelling of the inertia friction welding (IFW) between two tubular CrMoV components has been carried out using the DEFORM-2D (v10.2) software. This model has been validated against experimental test welds of the material;...
