A numerical methodology for predicting tool wear in Friction Stir Welding
A novel methodology for predicting tool wear in FSW based on a CFD model, coupled with a modified Archard equation, is presented considering the effect of the deformation of the highly viscous flow around the tool on tool wear. A validation process is proposed to ensure robust results when using th...
