in this study, it has been tried to understand the tool shapes and parameters play an

important role to determine the tensile strength of weld joints by FSW.

Kush P. Mehta and Vishvesh J. Badheka (2016) reported maximum irregular and

large copper particles in welds made by triangular pin proles. Polygonal pin shape

has defects such as fragmental cracks and voids irrespective of its static and dynamic

areas. The defects decreased with the increase in polygonal. Defect-free macrojoint

was reported for cylindrical tool pin prole.
