title = "On the forces generated during friction stir processing of aluminum 5052 sheets",
abstract = "Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is a new advanced material processing technique used to refine and homogenize the microstructure of sheet metals. In order to optimize and automate the process, more studies are needed to correlate the process parameters with the resulting microstructure. One area in particular that has not received due attention is the relation between the forces generated during FSP and the resulting microstructure. In this work, we present preliminary results on the effects of rotational and translational speeds on the forces generated during friction stir processing of AA5052 sheets. The results indicate that the plunging force is more sensitive to the rotational speed than the translational speed.",
