SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LIGHT ASSISTED FRICTION STIR PROCESSING AND WELDING OF METALLIC AND NON-METALLIC MATERIALS |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus for use in a friction stir operation, such as friction stir welding (FSW) or friction stir processing (FSP). The apparatus may have a rotating tool adapted to be plunged into a material, where the material is susceptible to being softened by heating. The rotating tool may further be adapted to be advanced along a surface of the material. An optical energy generating subsystem may be used to heat a portion of the material using optical energy as the tool is advanced along the material. |

1. An apparatus for use in a friction stir operation, including FSW and FSP, comprising:
a rotating tool adapted to be plunged into a material susceptible to being softened by heating with light, the rotating tool further adapted to be advanced along a surface of the material; and an optical energy generating subsystem supported adjacent the surface of the material, and controlled to heat, using optical energy, a portion of the material as the tool is advanced along the material. |
