TL;DR: In this article, the material flow analysis of AA6061 weld plates was performed in ANSYS Fluent 14.5 simulation and the analysis performed was based on the established Finite Volume Method which considered the transient laminar flow of the material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a material flow model for dissimilar material friction stir welding is proposed based on the temperature and strain rate dependent material properties and the model used the volume of fluid (VOF) approach in the commercial FVM package ANSYS fluent 14.5.

TL;DR: In this article, the flow behavior of AA6061 under a threaded tool has been studied, and the convective heat loss has been considered from all the surfaces, and a comparative study has been made with and without the use of temperature-dependent properties and their significance in the finite volume method model.

TL;DR: This study investigates the effect of tool plunging force and tool shoulder size on heat generation of FSW by using 3–D finite element (FE) transient thermal analysis and developed FE model results were well matched with experimental results.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D finite element transient thermal model of friction stir welding (FSW) has been proposed, which consists of two main phenomena, i.e., heat generation due to friction between the tool and the workpiece and due to plastic deformation inside the material.
