Correlating process parameters to thrust forces and torque in the friction stir processing of AZ31B by Ammouri, Ali

“…Introduced in this work are correlations that capture the behavior of thrust force and torque vs. input process parameters in friction stir processing (FSP) of twin-roll cast (TRC) AZ3 IB. The correlations are based on the findings of an experimentally validated robust 3D FE model that was used to simulate the FSP process at different values of tool rotational and traverse speeds. …”
