The Role of Tool Pin Imprints on the Mechanical Behavior of Structures Repaired Using the Friction Stir Welding (Fsw)Technique

Among the various techniques employed to repair structures comprised of materials containing cracks, one of the most prominent is the utilization of friction stir welding (FSW). This method involves a solid-state assembly process. The adoption of FSW as a structural repair technique offers a swift response to meet contemporary industrial demands. When applied to the 5083 H111 aluminum alloy, this technique extended the operational lifespan of components following their repair.
