AI Technical Summary
In existing friction stir welding, the stirring head is prone to forming hook-shaped and cold lap defects during the welding process, resulting in uneven material flow, which leads to a decrease in the tensile and shear performance of the joint. Furthermore, if the rotation direction is incorrect, it is easy to produce voids and incomplete penetration defects.
A stirring head is designed with a first external concave thread and a first groove on the side of the stirring pin, and a second external concave thread and a second groove on the side of the shaft shoulder. These structures improve material flowability and heat transfer, and reduce defect formation.
It improves the fluidity and mixing degree of materials, reduces or eliminates hook and cold lap defects, enhances the effective lap width and tensile shear strength of joints, and avoids voids and incomplete penetration defects.
