Monitoring of the Friction Stir Welding Process to Describe Parameter Effects onJoint QualityAbstractWith the industrial use of FSW growing steadily, nondestructive testing methods that can detect the impending formation of flaws duringwelding must be developed. The present work accomplished two goals. First, the distribution of oxide fragments within aluminium welds couldbe correlated with certain welding process variables. Consequently, an approach was suggested to prevent the conglomeration of oxidefragments in the weld by reducing the surface roughness of the abutted edges. Second, welding forces can be used to predict the formation ofelongated cavities inside the weld. This project showed that by monitoring the welding forces, the ability to change the welding variables inreal time could prevent the formation of flaws in friction stir welds.
