Description

A controller was developed and tested for the friction stir welding of copper canisters, used in the nuclear industry. The cascaded loop controller determines the power input requirement and tool temperature to achieve a stable, robust and repeatable process. Optimisation of the welding procedure resulted in a new shoulder geometry, as a convex scroll shoulder. The effects of surface treatment with CrN or AlTiN on probe life and crack formation were investigated. The improved process stability from welding in argon gas is discussed in terms of lower variations in thermal boundary conditions and elimination of shoulder wear.
