Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Thermal Bonding Process in Friction Stir Welded- Different Brass Plates

In this paper we have investigated application of FSW technology in aircraft structures mainly as substitution on stringer reinforced plates. Manufacturing process steps were determined and further optimization procedures were suggested. Knowledge base for setting basic welding parameters has been created and comparison of a sample of plates and FSW technologies on a simple final element method model plates examined in order to identify differences in stress distribution character in the finalized using COMSOL 4.3b Multiphysics software.
