文摘An experimental technique based on stacked structures was developed to observe the material flow behavior of the friction stir welding (FSW) process. Analysis of section views along different directions revealed important new details of the material flow in FSW process. In this work, a general flow model of FSW was constructed based on the analysis of different static section views of stacked structure weld. The formation of onion rings was found to be a geometric effect due to layered deposition attd the extrusion occurred at the interface between flow arm (FA) and stirring zone (SZ).
