Tool geometry (pin and shoulder), rotational speed, traverse speed, and tilt angle are important parameters which determine the resultant properties of weld. Milling machines due to rotating tool and traversing can be used as a method of doing laboratory scale FSW experiment. In cases where milling machines have a fixed head, limitation of zero degree tool tilt angle results in substantial defects (e.g. tunnel defect) in weldments. In this study a new approach is developed and adopted for overcoming this limitation of a fixed head vertical milling machine to incorporate the flexibility of tool tilt. The results for welding with and without this approach are presented along with discussion and conclusion. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84879574434&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.701.378&partnerID=40&md5=f168c19d2ad0d9a80bfcc6301f2bdaac id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.701.378 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 701 place_of_pub: Kota Kinabalu pagerange: 378-381 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037857045 issn: 10226680 citation: Ghazanfar, B. and Awang, M. and Khan, S.R. and Fawad, H.
