22 Jun 1998TL;DR: In this paper, a method of forming a structural airframe component for an aircraft and an airframe structural component is described, which includes placing at least two components in abutting relationship with each other and joining them together by friction stir butt welding.
Abstract: A method of forming a structural airframe component for an aircraft and an airframe structural component are provided. The method includes placing at least two components (1, 2) in abutting relationship with each other and joining them together by friction stir butt welding (3), and the structural airframe component comprises a component manufactured according to the method of the invention.

TL;DR: In this article, the basic principle of friction stir welding (FSW) is described and several probe types are reviewed, with particular emphasis on probe types currently under development (Flared-Triflute™ probe and an A-Skew™ probe).
Abstract: The basic principle of Friction Stir welding (FSW) is described. Certain applications (butt and lap welding) are reviewed, with particular emphasis on probe types currently under development (Flared-Triflute™ probe and an A-Skew™ probe). Both give lap welds of 190% of the plate thickness, an improvement in weld integrity, a reduction in upper plate thinning and an increased welding speed over current practice. Butt welds produced with Whorl™ and MX-Triflute™ frustum-shaped probes that gave acceptable weld quality are also described.
